When i use the html validator on validator.w3.org (http://validator.w3.org) it brings up a page saying

I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to validate the document. The sources I tried are:

The HTTP Content-Type field.
The XML Declaration.
The HTML "META" element.

i dont know how to put these in my document as i don't know what these are

i manegd to validate my css file and i am displaying the fact that i have done this on y website when uploaded

Try posting this doc type (or similar) at the top of your page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

and include this meta tag (or similar) in the head content of your page:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

If you still can't get your page validated, read up on the W3 site to see what doc type and meta content types are relevant to the content of your site.

Hope this helps....
