It causes quite some confusion in validation. Technically, since character data is not allowed within a <head> element, it implicitly closes the <head> element and starts a <body> element. And then any <meta> element is invalid. > Line 10, column 7: required attribute "TYPE" not specified (explain...). Well, that's simple. You need to specify a "TYPE" attribute (here, obviously, type="text/javascript"). > Line 17, column 10: there is no attribute "NOF" (explain...). > <BODY NOF="(MB=(DefaultMasterBorder, 139, 372, 164, 23), L=(HOMELayout, > 687, 483 Quite some attribute soup. It's up to you to decide what to do with them, hopefully understanding what they might mean to some software. A validator simply reports them as syntax errors, since that's what they are from the DTD viewpoint. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
