Hi,

I am trying to validate a Wordpress template we have been given and the validator is saying
Element note_h1 not allowed as child of element div in this context
Click to expand...

regarding this piece of mark-up
Code: 
<note_h1>Welcome Note:</note_h1>

I've hunted W3Schools and the SE's and cannot find this tag as part of the HTML5 standard?

However, W3C validator isn't saying the tag is invalid, it's implying it just can't be used as a child to a DIV?

Is this a genuine HTML5 tag? If not what is it and why has the developer used it?

Your help is appreciated.

Regards,
1DMF

I know of no html tags with an underscore in them - I do not believe that is a genuine tag (though if I'm wrong someone correct me, and show me).

If I had to guess I would guess the developer meant <h1 class="note">, though why they did what you mentioned I wouldn't have the foggiest clue.

that's exactly what I turned it into and removed the in-line styles for a CSS class.

Incidentally I found another hand-made tag :
Code: 
<about_title>
, which I promptly removed, along with the <center> tags and hardcoded <br> tags and applied CSS styling instead!

So much for outsourcing to professional design company, ...if you want the job doing properly...!

It is only a valid in XML, not in (X)HTML. Have this code validated, and the validator will tell you that <note_h1> is an undefined tag:
HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<note_h1>Heading</note_h1>
</body>
</html>

Well technically X/HTML should allow for bespoke (eXtensible) mark-up, however, as the doc-type is html (HTML5), the point is mute!

Thanks for all the input, and clarification that this is invalid mark-up.

It's invalid markup, there are, however Javascript libraries like Angular.JS allowing such extensions to be used, but in case of angular I'd expect additional attributes for processing that to valid html at runtime.

So are there any script elements in the header pointing to some javascript framework?

Bye, Olaf.

Not that I can see, there is a...

slider.js,
html5.js,
theme-customizer.js,
navigation.js

none of which can I see any related code to the invalid tags.
