    Please post your FeedX call(s), your templates, and a link to your site with the debug console turned on in the FeedX support thread and I we will see what we can figure out.

      There’s something in the weather snippet that’s making my site not validate. It’s an <img> tag that is somehow embedded into the source code. I have no idea how to edit the <img> tag so that my site validates. Here’s the source code from my page. 

      <p>Temp: 75°F</p>
<p>Wind: East @ 9mph<img src="http://server.as5000.com/AS5000/adserver/image?ID=WUND-00049&C=0" width="0" height="0" border="0"/></p>
<p>Conditions: Partly Cloudy</p>
<p>Pressure: 30.07in (Steady)</p>
<p>Humidity: 60%</p>
<p>Sunrise: </p>
<p>Sunset: </p>


      It’s the <img> tag right after the "Wind" part. How can I get to that? I’ve looked in the snippet code and the chunk but I can’t find it. huh

        I think the IMG tag was in the responce of Wunderground.com.
        (It’s not generated in the snippet.)

          I’m using weather.com, is there any way I can prevent the tag from appearing?

            But I think the HTML code you wrote in your previous comment is from Wunderground.com.
            What is your snippet call ?
            Does that include &provider parameter ?

              As tkfm noted, this has to do something with your call or the template. The code itself does not output any html formatting whatsoever. Please post your snippet call and and the code you are using with the placeholders.

              Essentially, please post something like this:

              [!weather? &zipcode=`90001` &units=`metric` &offSet=`2` &nightTime=`19`!]
<div>
  <p>Temp: [+wxTemp+]</p>
  <p>Wind: [+wxWindDir+] @ [+wxWindSpeed+]</p>
  <p>Conditions: [+wxConditions+]</p>
  <p>Pressure: [+wxPressure+]</p>
  <p>Humidity: [+wxHumidity+]</p>
  <img src="[+wxIcon+]"><br />
</div>

                I’m using this chunk on my template

                [[WeatherX]]


                to call the following:

                [!weather?&zipcode=`33126`&units=`english`&provider=`weather.com`&wxDate&clock=`12`!]
<div>
  <p>Temp: [+wxTemp+]</p>
  <p>Wind: [+wxWindDir+] @ [+wxWindSpeed+]</p>
  <p>Conditions: [+wxConditions+]</p>
  <p>Pressure: [+wxPressure+]</p>
  <p>Humidity: [+wxHumidity+]</p>
  <p>Sunrise: [+wxSunr+]</p>
  <p>Sunset: [+wxSuns+]</p>
  <img src="[+wxIcon+]" alt="miami weather"/><br />
</div>

                  This is actually a default snippet call.  If you want to use a chunk called WeatherX, you need to use {{WeatherX}}.  That chunk should contain this modified call (assuming you named your snippet "weather"):

                  [!weather? &zipcode=`33126` &provider=`weather.com`!]
<div>
  <p>Temp: [+wxTemp+]</p>
  <p>Wind: [+wxWindDir+] @ [+wxWindSpeed+]</p>
  <p>Conditions: [+wxConditions+]</p>
  <p>Pressure: [+wxPressure+]</p>
  <p>Humidity: [+wxHumidity+]</p>
  <p>Sunrise: [+wxSunr+]</p>
  <p>Sunset: [+wxSuns+]</p>
  <img src="[+wxIcon+]" alt="miami weather"/><br />
</div>



                  That should do the trick.  If not, please either post a link to your page here or PM me it so I can look at the source.  If I can’t figure it out from there, you will have to PM me login details for your site to look around and see what is causing the problems.

                    You’re right, it worked. I had a mix-up with the names of the chunk, the snippet and using [[ ]] instead of {{ }}.

                    My site now validates.

                    Thanks alot! laugh
