Conclusion:
This is a Norwegian version of UBO homepage with the URL: http://www.ub.uio.no
The English version http://www.ub.uio.no/english is different. It has less links. All libraries pages has the same links on different places.
The "Intern" link has different name on pages. The HTML code has many bugs. Table tags have different sizes,links different colors.HTML code has not all needed Metadata.
Metadata is data about data. In terms of your Web pages it is additional descriptive information about the page. Typical information might include keywords, a description, author, date of update and other information. Including metadata in your Web pages can help you manage them and can help other people find them.
Other UBO pages like http://www.ub.uio.no/uhs has bad HTML code. For example validation of this page says:
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.
Line 141, column 9: required attribute "ACTION" not specified <FORM> The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.
They are a lot error messages on every UBO website pages.
