Error on line 7 column 142

Hey Rob Edworthy,

If you take a closer look at your Googles Font link element you should noticed the href=" ' attribute starts with a double quote and ends with a single quote. Now if you look at the end of the link tag on the type=' " attribute it ends in a double quote, but starts with a single quote. So, because there's a double quote at the very beginning of the href attribute and another one at the very end of the link tag you're actually wrapping all the other attributes within link as the hrefs value. If you start a attribute with a single quote you need to end with a single quote and vise versa for double quotes.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,800,400|Changa+One' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Hi Robby,

Thanks for the response, have changed those errors.

I am now getting the following error when i try to validate.

Line 7, Column 143: Bad value http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One| Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,800,700 for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: not a URL code point. …e| Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,800,700" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> Syntax of URL: Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or http://example.org/. Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20.

any ideas?

''' <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One| Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,800,700" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> ''''

Hey Robby Faller,

I got there, in the end. However I changed the href attribute to copy what was in the w3c checker, but this is different to the link provided by google fonts website.

Is this something you need to play around with when you start testing if the site conforms to the standard?

No worries, thanks for your help. :-)
