You people have a bizarre definition of where an error occurs. Line 40, standing alone, was perfectly valid. Therefore by any normal logic, any error recognized at line 40 either occurred previously, or is a consequence of an error spanning multiple lines that include line 40. The validator has no problem pointing back to an opening tag on a previous line when a required end tag is missing, so why can't it point out or at least allude to some mistake on a previous line? -- "Love does not demand its own way." 1 Corinthians 13:5 Team OS/2 ** Reg.
