OK...I did it!
I converted my XHTML compliant site back to HTML...
...by freakin' hand (as in, "manually.")
(& for those that helped me to determine that as the correct approach...thanks.)
I replaced the XHTML prologue with HTML, for every page (&...I apologize if that's a misspell...everyone else seems to spell it "prolog.")
Then I rewrote all the image, meta, object, area & line break tags to HTML standard...
...& validated the entire site (in Dreamweaver.)
There are a few errors that I am having trouble with; & I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction (& believe me...I am very appreciative of all the help already received in the board):
1) The tag: "table" doesn't have an attribute. "height" in currently active versions.
All I did here was to place a Table inside of a Layer. It seems to look fine on the web. Can't figure out why this is an error.
2) The tag: "marquee" is not allowed within: "strong" is only allowed within: body.
Here, I placed a scrolling marquee script (again, inside a Layer.) I made the text bold, because it looked weak, otherwise. I was under the impression that it only worked in IE, but a friend of mine informed me that it works for them in Navigator, as well. Is having a scrolling marquee a problem? Is there a better way to accomplish this?
3) I have 4 tags *above* the <!DOCTYPE> tag:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "iso-8859-1")/>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "iso-8859-1")/>,
...which were written there when I placed a PayPal button on a merchandise page, which links to a payment form at PayPal. The Validator claims the "cfprocessingdirective", "cfcontent" & "cfset" tags are not found in currently active versions.
Not quite sure what to do about this one. I feel weird about the location, primarily (above the DTD.) Is it that, or the tags themselves?
4) The tag name: "embed" not found in currently active versions.
This came about due to the fact that I placed 4 Flash Buttons on a page. They also seem to work fine.
