What did I do wrong? I'm not sure what that means, but in any case, processing a document with HTML Tidy does _not_ fix the syntax errors you have in a purported HTML5 document, in general. Some of its actions may remove some problems, but as a whole, it was not designed for such use. Disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of HTML Tidy. I don't like software that converts pretty understandable presentational markup to <span> and <div> elements with computer-generated, meaningless class names and associated style sheets. I'd rather convert an HTML 4.01 Transitional document to an HTML 4.01 Strict (or even HTML5) document by hand than by first running it through HTML Tidy and then trying to fix the mess. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
