Description
Can you tell me if your theme validates according to:
* WCAG 1.0 Priority 1
* XHTML 1.0 Strict
Also, info on Section 508 compliance would also be useful.
I haven't found an easy way to scan through those themes which comply.
#1
I use a largely un-modified version of this theme at http://news.stpaulcatholic.org.
You're welcome to run that site through whatever online validator you choose. I'd be glad to hear the results.
#2
There are certainly some issues with validation, but I'm not sure which are theme and which are your content:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.stpaulcath...
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=2&uri...
http://wave.webaim.org/report?url=http://news.stpaulcatholic.org/
Let me know if you have any questions.
#3
Its pretty obvious most of them are content related, its probably rather pointless running validation against a page with any appreciable content (unless the content is itself valid).
Better to download the theme and run it on a site you know has valid content, fix the issues if possible and submit a patch.
#4
I've got your Drupal 6 version up here on a very basic install:
http://drupal6.dev.openconcept.ca/?theme=spreadfirefox
Just one error:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=2&uri...
Realize that there's only so much that can be done with the content. Although filtering it through the htmlPurifier module helps.
