There was no <title> tag in the document. It would be helpful > if the W3C validator error messages included something like "missing > <title> tag" in the way it catches a missing doctype statement or > character encoding. -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260-9447
