The validation response does indeed assume a minimal knowledge of HTML, and although we are trying to make validation more user-friendly, it can be confusing at times. Any constructive suggestion you could provide, to make the response more useful to you? My suggestion: * look at problems in sequence. I think most of the issue comes from the fact that your document does not have a doctype declared. Because this is missing, the validator tries to validate your document according to a default document type, which is not, by default, html 4.01 frameset. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/frameset.dtd"> (add this at the top of your document) If you declared that document to be html 4.01 frameset, it would validate. > The reason is that the name of my company is strictly copyrighted by > international law. What does this have to do with validation of a web page? regards, -- olivier
