William, If you want this to validate you should have a doctype line at the very start of the page like: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> (this should vary depending on which HTML DTD your document conforms to) If you are using UTF-8 you should have a line like: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; text/html; charset=utf-8"> in the header section of your page. You should have closing tags to match your opening tags (e.g. you have <P> at the start of paragraphs but no closing </P> at the end). Generally it is now recomended to use CSS type markup rather than tags like "<FONT FACE=FACE="Tahoma" SIZE=5 COLOR="#0000ff">" For the first paragraph of this page "Quest Text Font" why aren't you using <H1></H1> tags instead of <P></P>? This would indicate it is the title or heading of the page. All in all it looks to me like you need to learn a little bit more about HTML or XHTML I'd also suggest you run your pages through HTML Tidy [available from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ ] before you try and validate them. This will pick up a lot of errors. - Chris
