I went and checked my site to see if it was XHTML transitional and found that it was not. It had 146 errors. How is my site supposed to be search engine friendly if it is not compliant to be crawled by the search engines? Can this be fixed? I will have to switch to CS-Cart if this does not get resolved.

I understand we all come accross issues. Sometimes, it's information that we put in, that causes garbage out.
 
How about not making threats to go to a different specific cart? ViArt doesn't need their forum advertising for those vendors. If you're truly not happy, write support privately. Then, if you still wish to leave, please do so. But don't sit their specifying people you're leaving to in the forums. It's just rude.

TOCDCO, I was just specifying a point. If Viart's cart is not current and cannot be properly scanned by Google's crawler. Then, the cart is useless! All of the content on my site was typed in using Viart's WYSIWYG. I have resently tried CS-Carts cart for another site and it meets compliance and is already starting to rank in Google. Viart needs to know that customers will leave if they do not keep up with coding changes that make the cart compliant to be scanned by web crawlers!
 
I am not trying to be rude. I am actually looking for a fix so that I do not have to move this cart to CS-Cart!

Mention that you're having a problem...that's completely fine. Expecting a fix... perfectly understandable.
 
Naming another product's name as a threat to migrate to them... that's the rude part. There's a certain way to voice your issue... this way was just rude. That's all.

Wall BashI have found a fix that will get the code upto XHTML standards.
 
The html editor that Viart uses is not XHTML compliant and will not pass a XHTML verification.
 
You can test your cart's verification at: http://validator.w3.org/ .
 
I ran all of the custom HTML block code and product code through a HTML fixer that is located at: http://fixmyhtml.com/ . This will give you the correct code that is required to make your cart XHTML compliant. My cart now passes verification.
