WC3 "is it possible"

[MRGTB]

I have some code that I use on both my homepage and forumhome page, that displays the latest 5 threads.

I get 6 errors when I run the WC3 Validation that are all linked to the code that this mod uses. Code is posted below that I use.

<div class="smallfont">
 <if condition="$show['firstnew']">
  <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=&thread[threadid]&goto=newpost"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a>
 </if>
 <if condition="$show['icon'] && !$show['firstnew']">
  <img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" /> 
 </if>
 <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
 <em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&threadid=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
 » $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]
 » $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]
</div>

You can check the errors I'm getting by clicking this link here that shows 6 errors. I want to know if there is any WC3 whiz kids here who think he or she can fix this code to still work the same correctly, but be 100% WC3 validated.

Try this:

<div class="smallfont">
 <if condition="$show['firstnew']">
  <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=&amp;thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a>
 </if>
 <if condition="$show['icon'] && !$show['firstnew']">
  <img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" /> 
 </if>
 <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
 <em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;threadid=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
 » $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]
 » $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]
</div>

That should do it

thanks, that worked and it now 100% validate, but I had to remove "&amp:" bit in red at the top becuase it was being displayed as a "&" sign above every post image icon. But even after I removed it, it still validates 100%

Click the link in the first post to check it again now, to see the validation as 100%.

Both the homepage and forumhome are 100% now, cheers!
