Valid Xhtml

[Html]

Hi there, I've had some problem with validating my page... I'm not sure what exactly has happened

HTML uses the standard UNICODE Consortium character repertoire, and it leaves undefined (among others) 65 character codes (0 to 31 inclusive and 127 to 159 inclusive) that are sometimes used for typographical quote marks and similar in proprietary character sets. The validator has found one of these undefined characters in your document. The character may appear on your browser as a curly quote, or a trademark symbol, or some other fancy glyph; on a different computer, however, it will likely appear as a completely different character, or nothing at all.Your best bet is to replace the character with the nearest equivalent ASCII character, or to use an appropriate character entity. For more information on Character Encoding on the web, see Alan Flavell's excellent HTML Character Set Issues reference.This error can also be triggered by formatting characters embedded in documents by some word processors. If you use a word processor to edit your HTML documents, be sure to use the "Save as ASCII" or similar command to save the document without formatting information.✉# Error Line 26 column 265: non SGML character number 146....n’t easy to master, especially if you’ve decided to build water and have ne✉# Error Line 27 column 79: non SGML character number 146....be a daunting task, especially if you��re going to use a computer that doesn�✉# Error Line 27 column 117: non SGML character number 146....�re going to use a computer that doesn’t have a lot of RAM (Random access me✉# Error Line 27 column 178: non SGML character number 146....Random access memory), 512MB of RAM isn’t what I would say is sufficient.

It looks like you aren't closing your image tags.<img src="thumbimages/calmocean.jpg" alt="" border=""> should be more like <img src="thumbimages/calmocean.jpg" alt="" border="" />

..t water animation, that certainly isn��t easy to master, especially if you’vYou have used an illegal character in your text....

It looks like the ' has been converted to ?? in "isn't" and there is a different ’ rather than ' in "you'v". Are you, by chance, writing this page in a Microsoft product like Word or FrontPage? It could be that your application is putting in fancy single- and double-quotes rather than the plain ASCII single- and double-quotes - ' and " - and the validator might be choking on those characters.If this is the case, try opening your document in a text-editor - like Notepad - and converting all of the ’ to ' and the “ and ” to ".EDIT: Or, if you are dead-set on using the fancy quotes, try using HTML Entities instead.http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp“ = “ (or & #8220;) for example.

Thank you, this alternative helped. Though, um, I never used a word to create my page. It was done all in notepad.

Interesting. Perhaps your computer is set up to use a different character set. Or perhaps you received the copy from somewhere else and copied the text from a Word document?In any case, glad I could be of assistance!
