Hi all,

This is more of a techie question, but maybe someone can help unravel a mystery for me.

It started off with a post I made on a link-exchange site, looking for some new sites to exchange with.  The first reply I got was:I'd start by fixing your site. Over 50 errors when validation of code is checked.  http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trudeauconsulting.com%2F

Sure enough, I ran my site through the w3 checker and I got pages of errors.  After looking through the list though, I'm not so sure that many of these errors are anything I have control over.

Take for example this one:

Error Line 10 column 1176: value of attribute "ID" invalid: "_" cannot start a name.

.../DNN-Gray/container.css" /><link id="_Portals_0_" rel="stylesheet" type="text

...I don't set this anywhere... isn't all this controlled by how the DNN .ascx gets built?

Here's another one....   Can anyone help me with this?   Do I have to fix anything in my default.aspx file?

Error Line 48 column 74: document type does not allow element "DIV" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag.
...span><DIV ID='dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU'><TABLE ID='tblMenuBar' CELLPADDING="0" 
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; 
the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and and can contain the element mentioned. 
This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. 
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") 
inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
