Re: Can someone make sense of these validation errors?

You can't put a <form> inside a <table> (at least, not without a <tr> and <td>!). Delete the <table>.

You have used "smart quotes" -- the curly, typographically correct ones -- to quote attribute values. Nasty. Use the basic " instead. This is probably a copy&paste error from MS Word or similar.

<u> is deprecated. Use CSS text-decoration: underline instead.

Close all your tags! You're even missing </body> and </html>.

Now some general advice: don't save up errors like this; deal with them as soon as they occur, and it will be easier. Get HTML validator for Firefox.

Hey, I found few unclosed div tags and empty <span> tags. Hope that might reduce few errors.

I can.

Go to the web address in IE and "Source" so it comes up in notepad. Then use "Go To" and you can type in line 80 (as per the validator).

Code: Select all
Some of the things the employees get <u>at work</u>!

Look at your attributes. Look really closely at the quote marks around them. Wrong:

Code: Select all
I\'ve been looking at the Jobs at <a href=http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/index.html title="Google Jobs">
Correct:


Code: Select all
I\'ve been looking at the Jobs at <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/index.html" title="Google Jobs">
See the difference now?

Ahh right, I think that was because I was typing it up in word.
I will not do that next time!
Thanks
