Hey Everybody,
This is really percular, I unzippd the full rockettheme install for Popullus > Uploaded it to my server > viewed site > then without any alterations to the site at all (havnt even entered admin) I went to W3C to validate the HTML and it came up with 71 errors.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcaravans-onsite.com%2Fdejaizc%2Findex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
This is weird considering the Popullus specs say that its W3C Valid ???
I am new to utilizing W3C i must admit but how can it have errors straight out of the box?
regards

The template is W3C compliant, but not necessarily the content, which is what's causing the errors here.
Foremost, this is a template club, so it's important that W3C validation passes on the template with, say, default content. But you cannot expect a site populated with demo content to be 100% valid. For starters, who is going to actually use the demo content as-is? No-one in all likeliness, so it would simply be a waste of time making it 100% valid.
I would concentrate on building your site then worrying about validation later down the line, when what you are validating is the site as you've made it. - Toolbox Digital | Dribbble | Forrst

No probs.
By the way, when you come to validate, more often than not it looks worse than it is, and fixing just one problem can usually fix 80% of the validation errors. Well, if you're lucky

True indeed. I once had about 30 errors disappear after just one tiny change. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.
