AM I A DIV

AM I A DIV
This problem is to do with the category display on the home page.

If I validate the home page with cse validator I get the following errors:

The "TD" tag (opened in line 142) should be closed before the "div" tag is closed (nesting error).

The closing tag for "DIV" was found, but the tag was never opened or has been closed too many times.

Could this be because my site is already in a table. Where or how could I adjust the code. As the category display cannot be adjusted via a template.

Just tried validating your page for HTML 4.0 and the problem you mention is caused by the nesting order. I think you have one too many </div> tags. It's the one following: <a href="http://www.gamebo.com/X-BOX/News/">News</a></small></dl></td></tr></table></div>.

You will have to check your templates. Oh, and you've used a lot of depreciated tags and incorrectly used others! I guess you've decided not to use CSS and got into a mess. Tongue

Thanks for you help, i think i might have something to do with the fact that my website is frame based anyway. I validated your page and there seems to be a lot of problems also.

The "META" tag requires the "NAME" attribute or the "HTTP-EQUIV" attribute, but not both. Line 6, 7 , 12

A quoted string cannot be immediately followed by text. It must be followed by a space or the end of the tag.
Lines: 120, 121 , 122 , 124

The closing tag for "A" was found, but the tag was never opened or has been closed too many times.
Line:208.

It would be great if you help me sort out my problems. I use css on my site but also normal tags.

I noticed that error today too! I've fixed it now (I had placed an extra </A> in one of my footer files while editing it the other day). Not quite sure what the other errors are since the W3C validator seems to think everything's ok. Smile

I'll help where I can. I use strict HTML 4.0 and CSS 2.0. However, I also make sure that my site looks good in any browser (including Lynx). Has anyone got a Mac? Perhaps they could check my site in their browser.

I think a lot of Links users will regret dropping CSS in a few months time. It's best to stick with them.

Back to your problems. What are they now? Can you summarise them.
