CSS Validation "error"

When I use the CSS Validator (fle upload -
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-upload.html
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-upload.html> ) and upload the
attached file (also available at
http://tuttle.homelinux.net:8000/index.html), I get the following error:
 

 Line: 18 Context : DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC 

Parse Error - "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" --> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html>

<title>hyperT</title> <script type="text/javascript"> resizeTo(700,620); 

Any many more.

If I use the Validate-by-URI method like this:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://tuttle.homelinux.net
:8000/index.html
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://tuttle.homelinux.ne
t:8000/index.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29>
&charset=%28detect+automatically%29

I get validated.

How come I get errors with the upload version that the URI version doesn't
detect.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have to do with the funny newlines
in that file that get mangled in the File Upload process (something with
which I'm familiar).  (My newlines are "funny" 'cause the file gets edited
by a Mac and a Sparc, and I never know which newline/carriage-return is
being saved in the file.)  That said, I also think that newlines are
optional in HTML, so shouldn't any Validator ignore them?

 

Thanks,

    Jim
