The title element is required within the head of every HTML document, and while the error message may not be intuitive for you, it does actually make sense. It indicates the the element has ended before all required child elements were found, thus the head element is technically not finished. The explanation below the error message explains this with the example of the ul and li elements. | Another possibility is that you used an element (e.g. 'ul') which | requires a child element (e.g. 'li') that you did not include. Hence | the parent element is "not finished", not complete. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://GetThunderbird.com/ Reclaim your Inbox
