What do you mean by an unrelated line split across several lines? > This is similar to at least one of the already reported bugs It doesn't look like a bug of any sort to me. > FILE: http://www.topgps.co.uk/test/test_lnkchk_without_top.htm You cannot put a elements as a direct children of the html element, before the head and body. They need to go within the body element or, if you were using a Strict DOCTYPE, within a block level parent. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.topgps.co.uk/test/test_lnkchk_with_top.htm > FILE: http://www.topgps.co.uk/test/test_lnkchk_without_top.htm > ... > Broken fragments and their line numbers: They need to be fixed! > top: 61, 92 Those lines refer to the links pointing to #top, but since there is no anchor with a name="top" attribute or another element with an id="top", so those are indeed broken links.
