Element noindex not allowed as child of element div in this context.

[jamojo]

Hello Eveyone,

I am validating a html 5 page using w3c validator. However, this error occurred:

"Element noindex not allowed as child of element div in this context"

Can you please send some idea on how to resolve this?

Thanks.

It would help if you show the relevant piece of HTML.

noindex is not a valid tag by definition, but some search engines use them. So if you want validation, remove them.
