Please surf to another server to see the Verification xhtml 1.0 Strict as the verification code refers to the referrer for authentication filter : http://www.pr.c-php.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=login

... this as a php coding error of www.w3.org
... and requiring the alt attribute here to pass the verification is an ABSURDITY... ... is required ! . . . WHAT IS THE SENSE OF THIS ?
... hopefully that's all into the marvellous XHTML 1.0 Strict Stricting what ? ... www.c-php.com wonders !

Scenario is : You surf a website and you like its design !
...here we go on how to grab that structure and customize to your taste and feel and need :

  1. Create on your desktop a folder and name it clone.
  2. Rightclick the index file or the home page (select the whole code and save into your clone-desktop directory, with the same name.html ) and scroll its code, you will then examine the related files paths and create the directories you will note in those paths, into you main directory clone
  3. if you find for example a directory called scripts and you see in any part of the page html code anything like the following : <script src="scripts/whatever.js"></script> then ask for that file with your browser as follows : http://www.website.com/scripts/whatever.js and save that into your clone.
  4. The same has to be searched and done with any_file.css
  5. Now rightclick all images and backgrounds ...one by one and click save as or save as background image if that is a background your browser will show you the applicable option.
  6. At this point you have completed the rubbery of the index file
  7. Remember that you cannot download the code of php files, but only their html results.
Before attempting to this grabbing exercise, make sure you went through the Php Basic Tutorial of this forum.
