Ato.gov.au HTML Check

HTML Validation Tool

Errors

X-UA-Compatible HTTP header must have the value “IE=edge”, was “IE=edge,chrome=1”.

The “scheme” attribute on the “meta” element is obsolete. Use only one scheme per field, or make the scheme declaration part of the value.

Element “style” not allowed as child of element “div” in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

Attribute “xmlns:msxsl” not allowed here.

Discarding superfluous token “menubar” from value of attribute “role”. Browsers only process the first token found that is a defined ARIA non-abstract role.

Bad value “application” for attribute “role” on element “nav”.

Attribute “aria-activedescendant” not allowed on element “nav” at this point.

Bad value “/A-Z-index/AZItems.aspx?sorttype=AZIndex&marketsegment=Entire website” for attribute “href” on element “a”: Illegal character in query: space is not allowed.

Duplicate ID “template-login”.

Element “h3” not allowed as child of element “label” in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

Element “div” not allowed as child of element “label” in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

Element “div” not allowed as child of element “h3” in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

An “img” element must have an “alt” attribute, except under certain conditions. For details, consult guidance on providing text alternatives for images.

Attribute “date-show-replies” not allowed on element “a” at this point.

Warnings

The “type” attribute is unnecessary for JavaScript resources.

Consider avoiding viewport values that prevent users from resizing documents.

The “type” attribute for the “style” element is not needed and should be omitted.

Section lacks heading. Consider using “h2”-“h6” elements to add identifying headings to all sections.

The “border” attribute is obsolete. Consider specifying “img { border: 0; }” in CSS instead.

Attribute with the local name “xmlns:msxsl” is not serializable as XML 1.0.

The “main” role is unnecessary for element “main”.

The first occurrence of ID “template-login” was here.

The “button” role is unnecessary for element “button”.

The “charset” attribute on the “script” element is obsolete.

Consider using the “h1” element as a top-level heading only (all “h1” elements are treated as top-level headings by many screen readers and other tools).
