This is strange. When I test locally using the W3C validator it validates, but when the pages are online I get an error about the trademark symbol.

I'm using XHTML trans and I've tried both of these:
(spaces to keep the board from reading)
& # 8 4 8 2 ;

Does anyone know what is valid for the trademark symbol?

You do have a previous problem that affects the ™ command, edit the second TM where "Our Total Yacht Maintenance Program ™" change it to ™ like you see here and alls ok...

Yet when i view your page, it does show me a TM symbol, not the <?> thing as shown above
