Dear all,

After recently learning from the net how to use HTML, javascript, frontpage make pages from scratch and publishing my site (still need to finish 2 pages).
I have encounterd the next hurdle,.../....: validation errors and I'm at loss as how to solve the remaining ones.

It has to do wth the public HTML choice made for my pages but do not know which is the best one to use, have tried all HTML options and errors still pop up.

Can someone please advise me on solving this problem and maybe how to speed the site up. All feedback is welcome.

thanks for support

Katy

For starters, I recommend that you get rid of the content-free entry page and go directly to the content that is currently at http://www.cloudchamber.eu/home.html

The validation errors with your frameset page are caused by a missing quote at the end of the <meta name="description" ...> tag.

Many of the validation errors for your framed content pages are caused by using the frameset doctype declaration for non-frameset pages. I recommend that you avoid using frames, but if you're going to use them, then you should use the frameset doctype declaration
CODE
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
for only the frameset page(s). You should use the transitional doctype declaration
CODE
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
for all the framed content pages.

Q The validation errors with your frameset page are caused by a missing quote at the end of the <meta name="description" ...> tag.

The final closing quote is missing. You've got
CODE
<meta name="description" content="Float on a cloud thru a room to view art, theater and performance elements created around Europe.>
where you should have
CODE
<meta name="description" content="Float on a cloud thru a room to view art, theater and performance elements created around Europe.">

What kind of programs do you mean? If you write leaner code, use external CSS and JS files and use smaller and/or more optimized images it will speed your site up.

A javascript driven navigation is getting out of date, when you can easily do such image swap behavior with CSS, see CSS nopreload rollovers and/or the Alistapart article on sprites. I'm sure it will speed up your page.

And you could use CSS to avoid the frames too. Look through the links at d.umn.edu.
