Hello,

I used validator tools you provided before downloading template Ja Mica:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://template15.joomlart.com/ja_mica/
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http://template15.joomlart.com/ja_mica/

Both validators say Mica is not valid (nor XHTML, 42 errors, no CSS, 3 errors).

Since I am not a programmer, am I doing something wrong or template does not validate yet?

I ask since I need a W3C complaint template.

Thanks for kind attention

The reason may be that this template is using the new and not yet fully supported CSS3. You made the test based on CSS2.1. I made the same test with using the options field and selecting CSS3.

The result, no warnings anymore but still 2 errors. The test on CSS2 showed over 40 warnings that can only relate to CSS3 used!

This is something like a known problem, as no one should by now use CSS3 in a production site as it will always fail the CSS2 validation and CSS2 is the yet current version supported by IE8 and the standard, still.

Check this: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://template15.joomlart.com/ja_mica/&profile=css3&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en

About the XHTML validation failout, it is quick done work, not enough time spent to keep the markups correct, the only thing it can be, sorry!
