[Help] W3C validation and facebook inorperation.

**BloodSkin** · 10-15-2010

im having troubles with bloodskin.com as in my metadata is not populating the share script correctly.

also, i am unable to get w3c to correctly validate my css file. compare my css file to their suggested snippet. identical.

i get the impression that the css issue is my encoding type, but ive tried every option available to me. i think im going to try logging in via ssh and using vi to edit my ss file, see if that helps.

Parse Error Lexical error at line 1, column 1. Encountered: "\u090a" (2314), after : ""

Code:

html, body, #wrapper {
height : 100%;
margin : 0;
padding : 0;
border : none;
text-align : center;
}
#wrapper {
margin : 0 auto;
text-align : left;
vertical-align : middle;
width : 100%;
}

the ONLY thing i can think of that would cause this problem with the share link is a cache error, but ive cleared my cache and tested on multiple browsers. it simply will not read my meta data.

Parse Error Lexical

Almost always related to a missing style sheet, or a style sheet referenced to the wrong location.

But it may be malformed or another issue, So , what is it you are trying to do exactly, it seems to me that the css is doing it's job, (as in Facebook share is centered, as it should be)

So why don't you try explaining what it is I am missing.

Thanks

Validates just fine...

W3C CSS Validator results for https://bloodskin.com/site.css (CSS level 2.1)

NG close plox? /

Edit: just noticed that your html file is broken, it's got some wierd data after the first character (it won't even save right). Just resave the file /

seems as though my problem is encoding. im just going to make backups then log in via ssh and use vi to recreate the files as unicode and so on until i figure out what is required. thanks guys.

as for the facebook integration issue,

this is not being loaded properly. no image, no desc, simply the domain name. im going to read through the api agaain and see what im missing.
