[WSG] validation error - blockquote
Hi can someone help me to understand this: Is blockquote not allow here? error message read: You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a paragraph/p) or forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as % and / are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes). html: h3.../h3 p.../p p.../p blockquote class=right.../blockquote p.../p p.../p thanks! tee ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
