Validation failure

[Malcolm Walker]

Using FP2003 SP3

In an unrelated thread I have been told that my site at
www.sandiwaygolf.co.uk/ does not validate. I have the Mozilla Firefox
HTML Tidy add-in installed and for my home page that reports, rather
surprisingly to me, no errors and no warnings.

When I go to the W3C validator the response is that my home page cannot
be validated. It is reported that there is an error in line 100. In
FrontPage Code View there are 83 lines. Can anyone explain please?

You page won't validate because you do not have a language encoding tag
add say
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

PS
The only thing that fails validation (w/ a language tag applied) is the FP Tag
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="none, default">- ignore that error

You have at least one include file in the page. In FrontPage this is
shown as a single line (a webbot comment), in the browser (as seen by
the validator) included pages are expanded to their full size, adding
several extra lines to the code that are not seen in FrontPage (except
when editing the included page).

My thanks Stefan, for pointing out the omission. It will be rectified.

Thank you Ron, for your explanation - I can now go forward albeit with
an embarrassed shuffle!
