It is much easier to pinpoint and correct errors if the "Show Source Input" block is checked. Not all Validators are up to date - in concert with - valid HTML standards or use correct DTD's (Document Type Descriptions). IMHO an excellent primer regarding Validators can be found at: All Things Web - Understanding HTML Validation http://pantos.org/atw/h-valid.html There are clickable hyperlinks to validation tools (via logos) on the pages of the mini-site listed in my signature block. Without wishing to appear self-serving, I ask those interested to visit the "Standards Now" and "Campaign for a non-Browser specific WWW" (also has excellent information regarding Validation) web pages.
