    Thanks Foamcow. Yes I have. I asked to join the association but do not hold up much hope of getting out of any contract. I cannot say I do not want to and the expense of doing it alone is very high. I've had experience of the legal process in France and the judges have a tendency to give...

    I don't really care if they have a little name tag on the bottom that does not work. Their contract is very well written. If I sneeze I am sued! They even sued a dissatisfied client who tried to contact other similar clients through a blog!!

    Makitso, Cortix, being an Internet & Multimedia Solutions Company (that's what they say) I did expect my site to be properly coded and functional, and half-way decent looking. I did not ask for a work of art, the photos and text will do the necessary for me. I see many diverging opinions on...

    I'll try and get the photo bit changed but I think I'll not mention the "cortix" button as it is a link to them and it'll serve them right if it doesn't work!

    Dear Foamcow, I have never written to a Foamcow before but there is always a first time. I can correct most errors but as you pointed out the embed tag is wrong. What should that be instead and what are the effects if left as is? I will not lose heart and will somehow get the site right. I...

    Olaf, I truly thank you for your input and hope I was not too harsh with you. You did however unwittingly give me the reason why I and others feel that mark up language should always be correct. We, humans, have the capacity to parse text and without thinking I did so with you. (see below)...

    Olaf, It's not my fault, at all, at all. They are slick sales people well trained to cope with all questions and get a signed contract. So you have obviously completely misunderstood the problem. So, and for this reply only, I will tell you the problem. - They, CORTIX -and do remember the...

    The company is CORTIX www cortix fr (by the way their site validates!!)they say they have 20,000 sites by them. So I presumed (big mistake), that they knew what they were doing. Dan and everyone again thanks for your input. I'll give them the opportunity to do it correctly and if not I will...

    Thanks for your replies. I kinda thought that too but wanted to see what others thought. Had I not signed a contract I would be long gone. Unfortunately a contract in France is harder to get out of and payment, once started is also hard to stop. Believe me here. You guys are giving me ammo and...

    What is the value of W3C validation if...

    I have asked a French website company to write a website for me. I validated it using W3C's Validation service and saw loads of errors on every page. The declared doc type is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="... When I validate any...
