Hello there,

Am another newbie looking to pinck the brains of experts.

I have the beginnings of a site which is up and consists of around 10 pages. Its taken ages but I have plugged at it.

I would like if poss for someone to help me out with validation, i have done what i can but validity eludes me.

Would appreciate some help with this and anything elase you might see before i add other pages. Want to start off right.

Thank you

I didn't run it through the validator, just looked at the source.
There is a problem at your tag, there is an extra the opening tag isn't there
this error would probably cause other errors as it would try match that single tag with another, causing other problems.

The best way to use the validator is to fix only the first one or two problems then revalidate and continue until all ok.

found another, in your table section you have the end tag but no beginnng, are you using php/asp by any chance? common error if you are.

Your nested table has width 276 and your only td cell has a width of 270, as you are not defining the cellpadding and spacing some broswers will add the 6 to them, others will use their default which varies, ideally the td width should be removed and width set in CSS (in your class).
woah nelly, you got a whole heap of extra tags in there

and a couple more under that (bold is the problem bits, remove them).
Your title tags are to long as well, but thats not a validation error.

good luck

[edit] there may be some more, I didnt go through your list or centent section very well, fix the above and run it through the validator
