# Validating XHTML

 * Looking for help or a pointer to resolve errors to sidebar.php file. Website 
   is rfqpro.com
 * W3 Validator is showing 20 errors and they all appear to relate to text widgets
   in sidebar.php
 * Error – Document type does not allow element “li” here; missing one of “ul”, “
   ol”, “menu”, “dir” start-tag
 * My Code:
    <!–sidebar.php–> <li id=”text-390437721″ class=”widget widget_text”
   > <div class=”textwidget”>
 * The sidebar.php file in the editor does not show this text anywhere? Do I need
   to access wordpress code in cPanel vs fixing via theme editor?
 * many thanks Mark
