I am having trouble making my website IE compatibile: http://www.bravin.co.uk/index.html

It is just showing up a blank screen.

I have tried removing as many validation errors as possible but there are still 27 errors that i cannot remove.

This error I have tried to remove but it results in my page being screwed up: Line 96, Column 45: ID "MAINBOX" already defined

The majority of the rest all seem to be "...is not a valid attribute".

I would really appreciate some help on how to progress. I'm not too bothered about clearing everything up as long as the page will work in IE. Thanks!

Your server appears to be set up for default.htm instead of index.html

Try this one and see if you get the same issue: http://bravin.co.uk/default.htm

You are using mainbox as an ID twice which is not allowed. You could change the div name of the second one to something else, or change the div id #mainbox to a class .mainbox in your html and css.

Yes sorry about the index.html/default.htm confusion - I fiddled with a few bits and pieces after I'd asked the question so the link was no longer valid. I have solved the duplicate div tag problem. Now I am unsure of what the issues are with my embed tags.

Here are my HTML validator results (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbravin.co.uk%2Fdefault.htm&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0)

I am unsure exactly what I have done wrong with all the "... is not a valid attribute" and how to fix it. Any advice would be a great help, thanks!

Find the end of that comment... I suspect you'll see what's going on.
