Hello everyone,

Im new to the forum and look forward to being a long lasting member. I am trying to validate my website, the page i am doing at the moment is http://www.swiftmediauk.co.uk/portfolio.php.

If you go to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...doctype=Inline you will see that there are only 2 errors to correct, however i havent got a clue how to resolve these 2 errors. is anybody able to offer any advice PLEASE?

Thanks Sooo much.

In XHTML all tags MUST be closed. You've got so many nestings in there it's tough to debug.. which is one reason why I never use tables for layout anymore.

I think this is your problem:
Quote:
<td width="100%" height="13" valign="top" bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><table width="100%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FBFEFF" class="content">
<tr>
You're opening another table row INSIDE the TD.. that's a no-no. Close that TD first, then your TR and I bet your validation error goes away. This is at "diamond security service" in the page.

Thank you LadynRed, Can you or anybody offer any resources or help on how to convert this design to css, rather than using tables?

Ive got to make the switch sometime but dont know where to start.

Oh boy. There are tons of on-line resources, but I would recommend a very good book from Sitepoint:
"HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS"
http://www.sitepoint.com/books/css2/
