Meta Tag etc....

[Novice]

Can someone tell me what I need to do to have my website show up on search engine without looking like this:

ÿþ Learn Accounting h4{ width:100%; }

I have no idea what ÿþ is, but it shows up every time I find my website in a search engine.

Also, I used a Meta Tag Analyzer and got back the following results:

WARNING! This Tag is NOT being used or used incorrectly. See source below
This Tag is 0 characters in length including tabs, spaces and carriage returns
Unable to process the TITLE Tag

and this:

WARNING! This Tag is NOT being used or used incorrectly. See source below
This Tag is 0 characters in length including tabs, spaces and carriage returns
Unable to process the META Description Tag

As far as I know, my Title tags and Meta Content and Meta Description are correctly in place on the website.

This is getting frustration, so any help you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks.

First of all let me just say that I like the site layout although remember not everyone has Javascript enabled so you don't want them left out, I would suggest making a non-Javascript navigation as well as the one you have at the top.

now for your problem.

for some reason I assume it is displaying this line here.

<style>h4{
width:100%;
}</style>


although I can't see any obvious errors I would move the above down with the rest of your <style> tags, and see the result then.

Thanks Gaz, I'll give a try.

Thanks also for your suggestions regarding the use of java scripts.

One possibility...
if the robot is looking for standard compliant pages then in newer browsers meta tags should have th eclosing tags....to me that seems to be the problem in your page....see if adding closing tags works for you...:-)
