1 + 2) you can only have one DTD per page. You have two. same goes for the name spacing. <html xmlns.....> part.3) target is deprecated in XHTML4) use "submit" (no capital)---5) use a strict DTD 6) avoid using inline styles and use an external stylesheet to better separate style and markup(those are my errors for your page) :)

This is my DTD: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">Right? If so, what's the second doctype it's complaining about?

in your include_once 'nav5d.html'; you should strip out everything except what is BETWEEN body tags, any scripting, css coding should be inserted in to the main page, but preferably in an external file, and then link to these external files.

So, the second DTD came from the DTD in nav5d.php in the script:include_once 'nav5d.html';?

Thanks!Few more questions. What exactly is a highlander moment?When I commented-out: include_once 'nav5d.html'; and changed target to submit, I still get two errors.thescientist said changing target to submit would fix the problem.What else needs to be changed?

Highlander movie Christopher lambert, sean connery, cutting peoples heads off with swords, "there can only be one" was what they say.No! change submit back to target="_blank" scientist was not strictly (pun intended) correct, STRICT document does not use target, transitional does! so you are fine using that.and change submit to lowercase in<input style="position:absolute;left:240px;top:'.$top.'px;"type="submit" value="Get Bopped" />

Down to one error: there is no attribute "target"I think this is the offending script: 

echo '<input class="one" target="_blank" style="position:absolute;left:111px;top:390px;border:none;background:transparent;font-size:150%;cursor:pointer;" type="submit" value="Print Selections" />';

sorry i must be getting tired target attribute is not used in input. form, frame yes, so removing ref to target from input should correct this.if you want to use target="_blank" place it inecho '<form action="temp1002b.php" method="post" target="_blank" >';

That script is commented out.This is the problem script. I changed this:echo '<input class="one" target="_blank" style="position:absolute;left:111px;top:390px;border:none;background:transparent;font-size:150%;cursor:pointer;" type="submit" value="Print Selections" />';to this:echo '<input class="one" style="position:absolute;left:111px;top:390px;border:none;background:transparent;font-size:150%;cursor:pointer;" type="submit" value="Print Selections" />';

I'm continually impressed by the attention to detail in replies. I'm also, too frequently, embarrassed by my lack of attention to detail. This is the hardest learning I've ever had to do. Learning that would be impossible without the help of dsonesuk and thescientist.Thanks,Niche
