Using http://validator.w3.org to validate our site and get the following error...

Line 3234, Column 127: document type does not allow element "link" here

http://www.<MYDOMAIN.com/var/cache/_563a0f615810726ac1aabd5fd6575619.css" />


The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).

One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error)
---------------------------------------

Line 3234 come just before the closing /body tag.
Line 3233 is "<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/var/cache/_095eb7bcf85d388ba7d7dc34fd64401a.js"></script>"

My question is where are these links normally called? They appear to be part of the "speed-up tool for Javascript" and "speed-up tool for CSS".

Try un-checking the speed-up tool and then do cleanup.php. Then validate without the speed-up tool on.

It will validate as long as "Use speed-up tool for CSS" is unchecked, but I still need to know where this is called from, what template?

Thanks for testing and doing the trailblazing... I still have lots of work to do before I'm where you're at. I'm waiting for Phil's new Ability template

Hope this helps...

I did some checking and found that if I disable the "socialize" module it validates. So it looks like it is another new addon that isn't working correctly. Oh well, at least it isn't something important.

I just unchecked socialize and the css validation error went away also. Thank you!

Look in home.tpl - just before </body>. It calles load_defer_code and loads the css and js cached files. Same code is also loaded from service_head.tpl. I would assume the one in home.tpl is there just in case anything is loaded inline in other templates (for different modules) and not in <head>. Technically this code should not be there yes and moving it to head section will validate the page even with speedup tools enabled.

I moved both {load_defer_code type="css"} and {load_defer_code type="js"} from just before the "{if $active_modules.Wibiya}..."
to just after {include file="customer/service_head.tpl"}.

I then enabled the Socialize module, ran cleanup.php and the site validated.

Thanks.

Edit: I just noticed that by moving the load_defer_code that it removes the formatting on the product detail page for "Customers also bought", "Send to a Friend", etc. so it looks like it isn't really a fix.
