Finally I am able to have every page passed the XHTML validation.
Previously, one line didn’t validate. It was a code supplied by Google:
<style type="text/css">
@import url(http://www.google.com/cse/api/branding.css);
</style>
This code shouldn’t be in the content area.
I could have the page validated by moving this style link to the <head> section – there’s where it should be. However that would violates the Adsense TOS.
While doing a search I came across this WebMasterWorld Forum when a member discovered the solution after posting about this problem.
Instead of moving the code, the simple solution is to select a different set of code provided by Google; i.e. to opt for the search box that says Note: Watermark requires JavaScript.
Sure enough, with this code changed, it now validates.
