Have you checked your pages to see if there is an invalid character outside the <!DOCTYPE Line? It is also possible that your ISP is adding its own "Junk" to the top of your page. If this is the case, I would suggest you validate your pages by upload from your PC. Hope this helps, Carole 7/26/01 2:00:28 PM, Robert.W.Blackburn@apcc.com wrote: >I get this errorwhen using the validator I set up on a WinNT IIS machine, >but there is a <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 >Transitional//EN"> >at the top of the document, and it does this for every document I try to >validate. > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > >Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML >parser. > > > Uh oh!
