Is it an error (i.e., should > it read "A start tag") or does it refer to the start tag of > an <A> element (in which case it should say so). It refers to a tag with tag name "a", such as <a href=foo>. Apparently the error message is formulated so that it applies to XHTML as well, so it must use the lowercase spelling "a". This makes the text somewhat cryptic. The following might be better: An <a> start tag... (The error message is caused by nesting of "a" elements, which is forbidden by the syntax.) Yucca
