If you're only interested in errors of a part of your page you can either ignore errors in ad-ditions by/for Yahoo!, or you can use the upload feature of the validator, i.e. upload the source file without the problematic ad-ditions. > I suggest you guys make it so whenever a person validates their page, > that the validator ignores all ads, such as yahoo ads, or google ads, > because they have their own codes that they supply which cannot be > edited by any means. Of course they can be edited, and if Yahoo! or Google use "invalid" ads the validator should say so. Maybe it's something simple, they blindly assume that you use HTML 4.01, but you use XHTML 1.0, or similar. You could find another Web hoster if that bothers you. Or report the issue to them. Frank
