is XHTML compliant

I do too but I get errors on it when I run it through the W3C validator.

319 errors, but most of the errors are easy to fix.

The first thing you should do is go through your html pages and make absolutely sure that *everything* tag-wise is lowercase. You have a lot of width="blah" and height="blah" type tags that say WIDTH and HEIGHT, those need to be lowercase.

Anytime you have an ampersand, you need to escape it for it to validate, so it needs to be

another one thats getting you a lot is all of your image tags need to be in the format



changing the proper variables.

once you have those cleaned up you should be down to only a few errors, and can clean it up from there.

My goodness....where have you been all my life!

Thanks for the help....
