You need to have the "http://www.widexs.nl/" in quotes. However, the reason it doesn't catch the error earlier is because there is a correct interpretation (although I am a little surprised ":" doesn't need to be quoted): <a href=http:// is equivalent to: <a href="http:"></a> because of SHORTTAG (or is it OMITTAG?), so the whole thing parses as: <a href="http:"></a> www.widexs.nl/> <img src="http:..." border="0" alt="WideXS"> </a> which shows why 'end tag for element "A" which is not open' is the correct error.
