My site: chanoc.com has recently been converted to XHTML!!!! Wohooo!!!! 🙂

* Well not the whole site, just the index page. Other pages will follow! 😉

Clicking on the W3C validator, it comes up with two error messages, one says that <.....bordercolor="blue"> is not an attribute in XHTML, although my Sybex XHTML book says it is an attribute. 😕

Any thoughts?

It's an attribute just not a valid one. It wasn't valid in HTML 4 either if I remember correctly.

You should be using CSS to style table borders.

Thanks Dave. I have more work to do on my .CSS code page.

You will get there in the end, it just takes time 😉.

Good on you for moving to XHTML and for taking the trouble to make sure it validates!
