I just tried to validate it and it gives me a few errors, your doctype is incorrect to start with I believe, not sure about the other errors, just look at them now for you.

**afcbob** · 07-31-2006, 12:45 PM

whats wrong with my doctype.

Thanks for take a look.

**b0881** · 07-31-2006, 12:48 PM

Apologies, I read it wrong, your doctype is fine, I had a play around and the following code validates, hope this helps...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html

thanks what did you change in the code.

**b0881** · 07-31-2006, 12:56 PM

I removed "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />"

I also replaced the doc type but the one you had already was fine I think.

You werent doing anything wrong don't worry, good work.

**afcbob** · 07-31-2006, 12:56 PM

Thats code gives me 6 errors

**b0881** · 07-31-2006, 12:58 PM

really? which validator are you using, I've just tried it again and it gave me no errors

**afcbob** · 07-31-2006, 01:00 PM

Site Validation

and test the file with your code is Marine Fish

**b0881** · 07-31-2006, 01:04 PM

Yeah your right, for some reason it didnt copy and paste over correctly, no idea why.

Instead Ive stuff the code that validates into a text file, the link is below so try and that and it should (fingers crossed) validate.

Marine Fish

Right click and Save as then try run that through the validator.

**afcbob** · 07-31-2006, 01:39 PM

yeah thats it but i only found one thing that was wrong and find the others what did you change just so i no for next time. been over the code 100 times but keep missing it.

**b0881** · 07-31-2006, 01:44 PM

After taking a second look I think it might have been the doc type, also that link of code that I removed.

I'll have a proper look later for you but I've got to head out now to footie.

Glad it works though.

**afcbob** · 07-31-2006, 02:21 PM

thanks got it sorted now thanks for all your help.
