So do I need to make sure that any file referenced by an <iframe> is complete HTML that validates, with <html>, <head>, and <body>? You should use a spidering tool to validate. The WDG validator will give you a one-off check, or the Site Valet will monitor it on a regular basis and report if and when errors creep in. -- Nick Kew
