Hi bjp, welcome to the forums,
I don't know exactly what the problem is, but I have found that when someting appears in the wrong place it's often because the mark-up isn't nested correctly. For example
The "This should be in the table" might appear anywhere depending on how the browser "guesses" where to put it.HTML Code:<table> <tr>This should be in the table <td>some more text</td> </tr> </table>
I doubt if your problem is like the example, but if you go to the validator http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input and paste in the page's code and click check, you may get a helpful error message. If not please post the mark-up here.

Can you explain your problem more descriptively? I read your post through 3 times and I can't understand your problem.

I have the free sample chapters of version 1 of the book, and I don't have the files from the code archive. But the code in the book is
basic.html
Does the code in your file look like that?HTML Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>The Most Basic Web Page in the World</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <body> <h1>The Most Basic Web Page in the World</h1> <p>This is a very simple web page to get you started. Hopefully you will get to see how the markup that drives the page relates to the end result that you can see on screen.</p> <p>This is another paragraph, by the way. Just to show how it works.</p> </body> </html>

Do you mean this mark-up is visible in the rendered page?
