Hello!

My website is akdh-ev.de

I tried to correct and update my website to get a better ranking for my website. I am using the newest joomla and jfbconnect. At the moment I an trying to correct all html errors and warnings. The w3.org validator found some errors:

1. Error: Attribute alt not allowed on element input at this point.

From line 846, column 29; to line 847, column 62
<input name="username" tabindex="0" id="sclogin-username" class="input-block-level" alt="username" type="text"↩ placeholder="Benutzername">↩

2. Error: Attribute alt not allowed on element input at this point.
From line 854, column 29; to line 855, column 58
<input name="password" tabindex="0" id="sclogin-passwd" class="input-block-level" alt="password" type="password"↩ placeholder="Passwort">↩

3. Error: Attribute alt not allowed on element input at this point.
From line 865, column 33; to line 865, column 131
<input id="sclogin-remember" type="checkbox" name="remember" class="inputbox" alt="Remember Me" />↩

I am not sure how to handle this. Can this be corrected or is it ae error in the template?

Kind regards,
Volker

Those errors are from our SCLogin module. The tags are valid, but only depending on how you (or your template) has specified the HTML standard that you're using. You can edit those tags and remove/update the elements if you really want by following the instructions in our SCLogin Theme Guide to create a template override.

However, if you're trying to improve your search engine rankings, fixing those validation errors isn't going to do it. As Google themselves state, they don't penalize sites for HTML errors:

I hope that helps explain things further.
