I just used Emacs, and it told there are 43 <div> tags and 42 </div> tags. I think you need a better authoring tool. A tool that spits out a soup of <div> tags, and invalid soup at that, is hardly useful. Does it routinely add alt="" to images? You are now saying that your mission statement is purely decorative, among other things. The markup is also very difficult to read and maintain and debug, since it has pieces of style sheet scattered around into the tags (style attribites). > Is there a bug in the validation code? There are bugs in any useful software, but virtually all assumed bugs are caused by errors in people's markup and failures to understand why they are errors. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
