Further testing
I now have a page called
http://www.sunflowertherapies.net/links/videolinks/test.html
which validates correctly.
In the code there is a section that is commented out.

<!--
This is the piece i cut out and then it doesnt validate - but it says "no
doctype found" - the two files are identical apart from this part...

Down to her I cut out and then it say - no doctype found
-->

Commented out it is fine. but when i cut it out to tidy up the page it does not
validate from a link.
How can a piece of code near the bottom of the page make it say there is no
doctype stated.
