It doesn't like your charset (UTF-8). try setting it to something else, like iso-8859-1, which is for western europe, that should do. (that is what I have on my site) then it will validate.

You have 2 content-type meta's in your <head>

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Odd, i hate it when it says something's not closed when it is, happened to me too, but i had HTML so it was a little easier.

you should be lucky, when i validated my page first time it had like 60 errors!
