This often makes subsequent error messages disappear, as they were caused by some confusion in parsing the document. The very first error message relates to this line, highlights the "6" and says: "an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified" This is the validator's somewhat clumsy way of saying that in XML, and hence i XHTML, every attribute value must appear in quotation marks - not 62 but "62" or '62'. > "/>" is the end. what can i do? P.S. Do _not_ follow the advice posted under the malformed Subject "RE[end of Strart Tag]", suggesting (obscurely) that you replace <input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value=62 /> by <input type="hidden" id="Itemid" value="62" />. Adding quotation marks is OK, but replacing the name attribute by the id attribute would completely destroy the functionality. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
