[Forum] Validation Code vBulletin 4.2.2 Patch Level 4

[SWSUSA]

Hi! W3C Validator gives error.
Привет! W3C Validator выдаёт ошибку.

Line 231, Column 30: document type does not allow element "ul" here; assuming missing "li" start-tag

<ul class="floatcontainer">


Line 296, Column 6: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</ul>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".


Line 231, Column 4: start tag was here

<ul class="floatcontainer">

Tell me how to make the code valid? Подскажите, как сделать код валидным?

We do not have a fix at this time. It is an artifact on how the navbar is built using the navigation manager. It shouldn't cause rendering or application issues in any browser.

Why then at an accounting forum the validator gives out mistakes? I don't understand.

Почему тогда на бухгалтерском форуме валидатор выдаёт ошибки? Не понимаю.

100% validation wasn't a goal when developing the software. Considering that vBulletin 4.2.X isn't under active development, I doubt it will be fixed in the future. As validation isn't required for the software to work, it wasn't considered an issue worth worrying about. Browsers are smart enough to render the code properly.

The lack of validation lowers SEO indicators site. I will think how to fix it.
And this is one of the challenges for SEO. And site owners do not want problems.

Отсутствие валидации понижает SEO показатели сайта. Буду думать как это исправить.
И это одна из проблем для SEO. А владельцы сайтов не хотят проблем.

We really need a link to the page you're trying to validate, otherwise we can't really figure out whats wrong. The code you gave us is actually valid.

This is the main forum page (это главная страница форума) http://glbyh.ru.

Do these cause issues with the rendering of the site? If not, they won't be fixed. If an HTML issue causes a bug in the software it needs to be logged in our tracker here:

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10020&issuetype=1

All bugs will be considered for resolution if we do any development on vBulletin 4.2.X in the future.
