Karl, I ran the site through the validator you linked to (thanks for that), but my problem still remains. I should note that there are still 43 errors, but they're things like "No ALT specified" and "there is no attribute X"
The errors that are bothering me most right now are: 1. cannot generate system identifier for general entity "osCsid" 2. general entity "osCsid" not defined and no default entity. 3. reference to entity "osCsid" for which no system identifier could be generated. I don't know how to fix these. osCommerce dynamically generates the code that this is complaining about. I notice now that I'm getting a javascript error in IE: "Object does not support this property or method" unfortunately, as has been seen no such error manifests itself in FF. I've been given two hours to fix this, and I've only got an hour left. What a pia... Anyway, if anyone can help me out. I'd love the help. I'll of course keep working on it from my end.
