Hey everyone, I'm using the php navigational system ?id=main&page=affiliates (not the switch version) on my web site and I am also trying to get my web pages all xhtml valid. Now this is all going fine, apart from the page affiliates on my web site. Basically, I need to add the full title head body etc on the page for it to become valid xhtml as I've used an additional div tag, but I have the problem of having a web page inside a web page. If you get that? Any thoughts? Help is very much appreicated.

Thanks,
Regards,
Rich.

The W3C's validator appears to be far more accurate then that other validator. The other validtor was saying something about being unable to validate your document because of an invalid DOCTYPE.

According to the W3C though:

Error Line 102 column 19: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.
<div id="text-left">

Which appears pretty consistant. Lines 99-105:

<div id="main">
			  <p>
				
<div id="text-left">


<strong>Affiliates</strong><br />

With you saying something about an extra div, i'm assuming you have your includes set up like:

<div id="main">
	<p>
	<?php /* Include... */ ?>
	</p>
</div>

And knowing nothing about how picky XHTML is (because i like HTML 4.01 transitional thank you very much), i would assume <div> tags shouldn't be inside <p> tags.

My simple solution would be to remove the <p> tag and change the CSS for #main to have a little padding, or maybe a margin like <p> tags default to.

Well, considering your obvious hatrid for xtml, that supringly looks as if its worked

Only issue now is why the W3C's validator is being redirected to that web site, as I don't own the details for the domain (my mate does) I'll have to take it up with him. Thanks for the help anyway rc
