HTML5 Character Encoding Errors

- + Character encoding $0 + is not allowed for HTML document. + +

The character encoding used for the document is not allowed + for HTML document. The document is non‐conforming.

+
+
+ + + Character encoding $0 + should not be used for HTML document. + +

The character encoding used for the document is not recommended + for HTML document. The document is non‐conforming + unless there is any good reason to use that encoding.

+
+
+ + + Use of UTF-8 is encouraged. + +

Use of UTF-8 as the character encoding of the document is encouraged, + though the use of another character encoding is still conforming.

+
+
+ + + Conformance for character encoding requirements + cannot be checked. + +

The conformance checker cannot detect whether the input document + met the requirements on character encoding, since the document + is not inputed as a serialized byte sequence. The document is + not conforming if it is not encoded in an appropriate character + encoding with appropriate labeling.

+
+
+ + + There is no character encoding + declaration. + +

The document does not contain a character encoding + declaration. Unless the character encoding is explicitly + specified in lower‐level protocol, e.g. in HTTP, + or is implied by BOM, there must be a character + encoding declaration. The document is non‐conforming.

+ +

The long character encoding declaration syntax + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=charset-name"> + is obsolete. The new syntax is:

+
<meta charset="charset-name">
+ +

Note that the encoding declaration in XML + declaration has no effect for HTML document.

+
+
+ + + No character encoding metadata is found + in lower‐level protocol nor is there BOM, while + character encoding $0 + is not a superset of ASCII. + +

The document is not labeled with character encoding name + in lower‐level protocol, e.g. in HTTP, and + the document is not begin with BOM. In addition, + the character encoding of the document is not a superset of + ASCII. The document is non‐conforming.

+ +

Unless there is a BOM, the character encoding + for the document must be specified in e.g. HTTP‐level, + as:

+
Content-Type: text/html; charset=charset-name
+ +

Existence of HTML character encoding declaration, i.e. + <meta charset="charset-name">, + does not allow to omit charset parameter + for HTML document encoded in non‐ASCII + compatible encoding.

+ +

Character encodings Shift_JIS, Windows-31J, + and ISO-2022-JP are not a superset of + ASCII for the purpose of HTML conformance.

+
+
+ + + While parsing the document as + $0, a character encoding declaration specifying + character encoding as $1 is found. The document + is reparsed. + +

While parsing a document in a character encoding, + a character encoding declaration which declares the character + encoding of the document as another character encoding is found. + The occurence of this warning itself does not make the document + non‐conforming. However, the failure of the first attempt to + to detect the character encoding might be a result of non‐conformance + of the document.

+ +

The document will be reparsed from the beginning. Some error + or warning might be reported again.

+ +

These are suggestions to avoid this warning:

+
    +
  • Specify charset parameter in the Content-Type + field in the HTTP header, as: +
    Content-Type: text/html; charset="charset-name"
  • +
  • Put the character encoding declaration + (<meta charset="charset-name">) + just after <head> start tag.
  • +
  • Use UTF-8.
  • +
+
+
+

+
+
+ + + This attribute only allow a limited set of + values and the specified value {@} is not one + of them. + +

For this attribute only several values are allowed and the + value of the attribute is not one of them. The document + is non-conforming.

+ +
+
HTML meta element, http-equiv attribute
+

Only values Default-Style and Refresh + are allowed.

+

Value Content-Type is obsolete; for charset + declaration, the charset attribute can be used as: +

<meta charset="charset-name">
+ ... where charset-name is a name of the character encoding + of the document, such as utf-8.

+

Values Content-Style-Type and + Content-Script-Type are currently not allowed.

+

Value Keywords is not allowed. Use + name attribute instead of http-equiv + attribute.

+
+
+ + + This identifier has already been + assigned to another element. + + + + + The link type $0 + cannot be specified for this element. + +

The specified link type cannot be used for the element. + The document is non-conforming.

+ +

Link types are associated with limited set of elements. + They cannot be used with other elements.

+ +

For example, link type bookmark + can be used with a or area element, + while it cannot be used with link element.

+
+
+ + + The link type $0 + is non-conforming. + +

The specified link type is non-conforming, and therefore + the document is non-conforming.

+ +
+
Link type contents
+

+
Link type copyright
+
Use link type license.
+
Link type home
+
Use link type index.
+

+
+ + + Character encoding name $1 + is different from document character encoding + $0. + +

The specified character encoding name is different from + the character encoding of the document. The document + is non‐conforming.

+
+
+ + + Browsing context name + {@} is reserved. + +

The specified browsing context name is reserved. + The document is non-conforming.

+ +

Names of browsing contexts starting with _ + (U+005F LOW LINE) + are reserved so that it must not be used.

+ +

Old version of HTML, non-HTML markup languages, and + Web browsers define or implements special reserved + browsing context names _blank, + _main, and _replace. + However, they are not conforming attribute values.

Attribute Value Warnings

+ + + Link type $0 + is proposed but not accepted yet; it should not be + used until it has been accepted. + +

The link type is in the proposed status; it + should not be used until it has been + accepted.

+ +

Warning: The data served to the + conforming checker might be out of date; it might have already + been accepted or rejected. The document might or might not be + conforming depending on the status. See WHATWG Wiki + for the latest information.

+
+
+ +
+ +
+

Table Model Errors

+ + + This colspan attribute + results in creating a table column that does not contain + any cell anchored to it. + + + + The table has no cell (td or + th) in the last row. + + + + This rowspan attribute + results in creating a table row that does not contain + any cell anchored to it. + +

The rowspan attribute value of the cell + is so specified that it extends a table in the row axis. + However, the extended row does not contain any cell by itself. + The document is non-conforming.

+ +

For example, the table below is non-conforming: +

<table>
+<tbody>
+<tr><td rowspan=2></td></tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+ ... since the second row contains only + a cell that spans between first and second rows.

+
+
+ +
+ +
+

Internet Media Type Warnings

+ + + {@}: An obsolete + subtype is used. + +

The specified Internet Media Type is registered with status + of OBSOLETE.

+ +
+
Media type text/ecmascript
+
Media type text/ecmascript is obsoleted in + favor of application/ecmascript. Note that + text/javascript would be better alternative + for many cases.
+
Media type text/javascript
+
Media type text/javascript is obsoleted by + IETF with backward incompatible alternate + application/javascript for architectural + purity. Realist may ignore this warning.
+
+
+
+ + + {@}: A private + (x- or x.) subtype is used. + + + + {@}: The subtype is + not registered to IANA. + + + +
+ +
+

URI (or IRI) Errors

+ + + The specified value is syntactically not an IRI + reference. + +

The specified value does not satisfy the syntactical requirements + for IRI references. The document is non-conforming.

+ +

Possible causes: +

    +
  • The string might contain one or more white space characters. + Especially, the (U+0020 + SPACE) character cannot be + used in IRI references.
  • +
+

+
+
+ +
+ +
+

URI (or IRI) Should-level Errors

+ + + A dot-segment (. or + ..) occurs in an absolute reference. + +

Dot-segment (. or ..) should + not occur in an absolute reference.

+ +

In relative references, dot-segments are used to represent + the current (.) or the parent (..) + hierarchy of the path. Though they are also allowed + in absolute references, it should be resolved to the + canonical form before it has been published.

+
+
+ + + This IRI does not end with + a /. + +

The IRI does not end with a /. If there is an + authority component in an IRI, a / should be present + instead of empty path component.

+ +

For example, http://www.example.com/ + is preferred to http://www.example.com.

+
+
+ + + A lowercase hexadecimal digit is used + in percent-encoding. + +

The hexadecimal digit in percent-encoding string in the IRI + is in lowercase. Though the IRI is conforming, + it should be in uppercase.

+
+
+ + + An unreserved character is + percent-encoded. + +

An unreserved character is percent-encoded in the IRI. + Though it is conforming, it should be in the + decoded (or bare) form.

+
+
+ + + URI scheme name is in uppercase. + +

The scheme part of the IRI is written in uppercase letter.

-s:URI::empty path;should;This IRI should explicitly end with /. -m:URI::syntax error;must;This IRI is not syntactically valid. +

Uppercase scheme names are not required to be processed + correctly.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+

Cache Manifest Errors

+ + + This document is not a cache manifest. + +

The specified document is not a cache manifest. + The document is non-conforming.

+ +

An entity labeled as Internet media type + text/cache-manifest must contain a cache manifest.

+ +

A cache manifest must start with a line whose content is + CACHE MANIFEST + (exactly one space character between + CACHE and MANIFEST).

+
+
+

Stability Information

+ + + This element is in the + call for implementation stage. + +

The element is in the call for implementation stage.

+ +

Usually, using the element is safe. However, it is a new feature + so that it might not be implemented correctly. If it is found that + the feature is hard or impossible to implement, the feature + might be revised, or in some case it might be dropped.

+ +

Elements defined by Atom 1.0 (IETF Proposed Standard), and XBL 2.0 + (W3C Candidate Recommendation) belong to this class.

+
+
+ + + This element is in the last + call for comments stage. + +

The element is in the last call for comments stage.

+ +

The element is relatively mature, though the standardization + is not done yet. It may be used for experiments. Since it is a new + feature, it might not be implemented correctly or at all. If it is + found that the feature is hard or impossible to implement, the feature + might be revised or might be dropped.

+ +

Elements defined by Web Forms 2.0 as well as some elements + defined by HTML5 belong to this class.

+
+
+ + + This element is documented in a working + draft. + +

The element is documented in a working or editor's draft + and not yet completed.

+ +

The element should not be used for any practical purpose. + The feature might be drastically changed later or might be + entirely removed.

Most of new elements defined by HTML5 belong to this class.

+
+
+ + + This element is not part of any + standard the conformance checker knows. + +

The element is not part of any standard or draft the conformance + checker is aware of.

+ +

The element should not be used for any practical purpose unless + there is really a standard that defines the element.
