Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me with this, as it has been irritating me for a little while now. I’m running the attached .html (had to zip it so it could be attached to the post) file through w3c validator and it is throwing up this error:

I’ve gone through the code a few times now and can’t find what is throwing up the error. I have run Dreamweaver CS4’s validation tool on the code and that says it is valid, so I am slightly lost. Any ideas on what I have messed up?

All sorted ha ha ha.

I think I am going to go back to sleep ha.

Glad you solved the problem, Rossy, and welcome to the forums. :slight_smile: Even better, someone else with the same problem can find this thread and see your solution. Nice job all the way around.
