I keep getting this error:

Line: 7

Parse error - Unrecognized : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>Online Bookstore Links - KYVU</title> <style type="text/css"> html, body {height: 100%;}

What does that mean? Here's the head section of my coding:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<style type="text/css">

#top img {border: 0; display: block; margin: 0; padding: 0;}

#text li {line-height: 2em;}
.sep {color: #fff; background: transparent;}
</style>
</head>

The only 'warnings' I received with Line 7 is when tested with level 3 Accessibility:

Access: [6.1.1.2]: style sheets require testing (style element)
(Priority 1)

Line 7 is the beginning of your <style> body {foo:}</style>.

This basically means that a page styled relying upon <STYLE> must be checked so as to display adequately when CSS is turned off. -Must not be reliant upon CSS.
I am not sure entirely what that means... but can you create this page using html 4.01 instead of XHTML? If not, then I'd go to "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" and read if there is any criteria that is causing this 'warnings'.

I don't get any errors either.

Must be because I cut and pasted the coding into the validator.... that's all I can think of, unless it was a cache problem with my browser.... well, as long as it passes muster, I'm not going to worry about it!
Thanks for taking a look -

I think that it is an Accessibility warning. It will not show up unless you set your validator level to priority 1, 2 or 3. In "none" and "normal" mode, there are no warnings.

Hmm seems like it might having an issue with the spacing

If you're talking about the CSS validator, if you paste code into the "Validate by direct input" section, it only wants CSS text, not the entire HTML document.

Yeah -- that's it, NogDog. I cut and pasted in the HTML validator, then CSS, not thinking about the incompatibility. :rolleyes:
