html - w3 validator says all entities are invalid after final validation is corrected -
i going through corrections pages validate. got downwards 1 error left on page. after correcting error, next run of validator gave 29 errors, 1 each entity on page. illustration
considered invalid. here 1 of error messages:
line 67, column 12: entity 'nbsp' not defined.
<h1> <a href="search-by-keyword.php?usertype=pri">m ...
in add-on 1 other error following:
line 1, column 6: xml declaration allowed @ start of document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
but declaration.
so test, reverted final error correction. after doing that, validator 1 time 1 time again says there 1 validation error in file.
as side note, did find posting on web 2007 seeming study same situation. see http://lists.w3.org/archives/public/www-validator/2007jul/0140.html
what's going on?
the solution issue remove leading space got in of tag, not allowed per specification. in particular, error message correct:
line 1, column 6: xml declaration allowed @ start of document
by "start of document" meant "1st character of document", , no leading white-space allowed.
this removed above error 28 other errors.
