Hi Mark,

The url 
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tacofleur.com%2Findex%2Fmethodology%2F+
http://www.tacofleur.com/index/methodology/ 

Reason I was going through was because I downloaded Mozilla today, yep finally made 
the big move.
Had a look at my site, saw some new functionality I never seen in IE before, it was 
intended to have that functionality there, even though its exactly what I am looking 
for (to make reading easier). 
Then, before I wanted to send a Q to this list I figured I better validate first!

If you (I) look at the page in Mozilla it looks as if the <a> element is not closed, 
i.e. the css for the a element extends throughout the page.

Subject: RE: [WSG] document type does not allow element error


Hey Taco
 
If you go through the DTD it outlines what elements are allowed inside which
other elements.
 
For example: 
+ Only <li> tags are allowed immediately inside <ul> & <ol> tags. 
+ Block level elements are not allowed inside inline elements (eg. <div>
inside <span>)

When you stuff one of these rules up you get a message that looks a lot like
your one ("document type does not allow element X here"). However that
message is cryptic to the point of being nonsense, so we'll have to see your
code to be able to give you a proper answer.


Cheers

Mark
