W3C markup validation issues

Feedback Bugs

Hi!

I wouldn’t call this “bug”, but I picked the category that seemed more fitting.
When feeding write.as blogs to https://validator.w3.org/, even without any css or js customisation, a bunch of errors get reported.

One of these actually looks like a typo (so maybe “bugs” is the appropriate category after all):

attribute "scolling" not allowed on element [ 'iframe' ](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/#the-iframe-element) at this point.

From line 431, column 4; to line 431, column 191

↩↩ ↩ <iframe src="https://write.as/me/iframe" scolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="position: absolute; top: 0.75em; left: 1.5em; border: 0; width: 46px; height: 46px;"></ifra

I am not smart enough to submit pull requests to fix any of the errors, but I am wondering if there is anything else I can do to help?

Thank you as always for the great work. :slight_smile:

Thanks for finding this @Melyanna! Bringing this up is the most you can do here to be honest — should be an easy fix on our end.

Just wanted to bump this topic to say we fixed the bug pertaining to the “scolling” typo! Thanks again for bringing this to our attention @Melyanna. Might be worth going through the w3 validator again to see if we can find anything else worth fixing.

Hi @cjeller1592

there are still a number of errors: 26 if you filter out the warnings using https://write.as/cues/ to perform the check.
Most of them though are a repetition of these here, so if you feel that they need to be fixed, watch out as they appear multiple times.

  • Error : Bad value `` for attribute dir on element html .From line 1, column 16; to line 2, column 14 TYPE HTML>↩<html dir="">↩ <hea
  • Error : CSS: Parse Error.From line 77, column 1; to line 77, column 3 y: 1;↩}↩ ↩img {↩
  • Error : Bad value `` for attribute dir on element h1 .From line 120, column 3; to line 120, column 29 header>↩ <h1 dir="" id="blog-title"><a hre
  • Error : Duplicate attribute class .At line 136, column 46 op="name" class="p-name"><a hr
  • Error : Attribute pubdate not allowed on element time at this point.From line 139, column 2; to line 139, column 137 ↩ </h2>↩ <time class="dt-published" datetime="2020-06-02T17:13:20Z" pubdate itemprop="datePublished" content="2020-06-02 17:13:20 &#43;0000 UTC">June 2
    Attributes for element time :Global attributes
    datetime — Machine-readable value

Plus this one:

  • Error : Stray start tag script .From line 401, column 2; to line 401, column 32 body>↩↩ ↩ <script src="/js/h.779d78e.js"></scri

If I feed the tool my blog, I also get these:

  • Error : The itemprop attribute was specified, but the element is not a property of any item.From line 21, column 3; to line 21, column 43 s.">↩ ↩ <meta itemprop="name" content="Tea Time">↩ <me
  • Error : The itemprop attribute was specified, but the element is not a property of any item.From line 22, column 3; to line 22, column 96

These don’t seem to be in any of the code I added to customise my blog though, so I wonder if it’s something other blogs would get too.

Thanks for listing these out @Melyanna — that’s a huge help! We’ll definitely address these errors that are global to all Write.as blogs and keep everyone updated on these.
