johneva Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Your coding is not anywhere near XHTML valid though so why do you have an image saying it is?Validation errorsAlso tables should not be used for layout and styles should be in CSS not in with the rest of your XHTML.Right the reason it plays up once you add the XHTML doc type is cos it swiches from reading your page in quirks mode to XHTML strict mode, in quirks mode the browser will guess at what it thinks is right to do instead of doing as the coding says.

Well thats the way I see it anyways.As for why your having problems with validation just cos of Google ads I dont know why as I have never had Google ads on any of my sites.But in the code you have.</object></layer></div></span></style></noscript></table></script></applet><script language="javascript">var google_language="en";var adHB=true; </script><script language="javascript" src="http://www.brinkster.com/adplace.js"></script><script language="javascript">wDoL("top","D3D80WT");</script><script language="javascript">wCls("D3D80WT");</script><script language="javascript">wDoL("btm","D3D80WT");</script><script language="javascript">showA("D3D80WT");</script><div style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666666; font-size:9px">Web Hosting by <a href="http://www.brinkster.com" style="color:#000000" target="_blank">Brinkster</a></div> Now the first 9 tags out of that are all closing none existant elements.
