Web standard validation

[behzad]

I just ran a page created with web designer on a site that detects w3c markup validation services. The results were a few errors. I am not good at html and love the way xara makes it easy to design websites. Are these errors big issues?

The site is
http://validator.w3.org/

And I pasted a link from one of the tutorial pages that gary did.

I think what is important is that the pages work.

Most of those errors are in regard to a copyright meta tag and I don't really care if it is in the right place or not. It identifies the owner of the site should anyone bother to look at the source code. I added this tag myself so it very possibly is not Kosher, but I don't think the W3 Police will be appearing at my door because of it.

Thanks Gary, you know i am one of your biggest admirer and I did not mean any criticism on your work. I was just wondering why they would show up, like you said, the site has to work and it does. By the way, would you be thinking of doing video tutorials as well, possibly on youtube or on your tutorial section?

Gary,
If you lose the deprecated IE(as off IE8) scrollbar features,like;

<style>
       HTML {
              scrollbar-arrow-color:#800000;
              scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FF9F40;
              scrollbar-face-color:#FF9F40;
              scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FF8040;
              scrollbar-track-color:#3B3B3B;
              scrollbar-highlight-color:#804300;
              scrollbar-shadow-color:#804300;
            }
    </style>

It will validate nicely if you do

Web Designer is supposed to produce completely valid pages. However, the code you put in the code fields and placeholders may not validate (as it is in the case of xaraxone), since it is not produces by Web Designer.
If you have a design that produces validation errors without any custom code inserted, I'd like to see it as it may be a bug that has to be fixed.
