Thanks for your fast response Stuart. I agree that if I correct the errors that you found when you validated, that might fix the issues. But like I thought, I would have to become a CSS guru, which I am not. My web coding days go back to the HTML 3.2 time, which one can tell by my terrible code in my table that creates my header.
By fixing a few of the obvious mistakes that I made, I have basically reduced it down to two issues in regard to validation. If I validate on XHTML 1.1 Strict then it has 12 errors. You can see the resulting xhtml at: mowestusa.nixsyspaus.org However, if I validate against XHTML 1.0 Transitional I only have one error. I don't have a <title></title> in the header, which I can't figure out how to do in Asciidoc without messing up my header table and the look of the page. The other 11 errors from XHTML 1.1 Strict had to do with things that should be corrected with proper CSS. I assume the only way I could do that is by altering the asciidoc default CSS templates, which is something I did not want to do because I'm not a CSS guru. All that being said I did find the offending code. It was in the <table> element. I had used align="left" which is a no no in XHTML 1.1 Strict. Once I took that out it now displays well in IE and Firefox. I still have the other 10 errors that could be fixed with proper CSS and the missing <title> error, but I'm unsure how to fix those without getting myself into things I don't understand well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Any more direction would be appreciated, like good CSS books or free online tutorials, or other ideas on simple changes to my code or the default templates of asciidoc. mowestusa --- Stuart Rackham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > mowestusa wrote: > > I have attached the offending txt file before it > is > > run through Asciidoc 8.1.0 on Fedora 7.
