Hello,

I've got a few validation errors that I don't understand because I think they're ok...but obviously they're not!

They are:
_____________________________________________________________

# Error Line 7, Column 69: end tag for "html" which is not finished

…ww.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" />

# Error Line 7, Column 69: end tag for "html" which is not finished

…ww.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" />

# Error Line 9, Column 39: document type does not allow element "head" here

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">


# Error Line 48, Column 6: document type does not allow element "body" here

<body>

# Error Line 354, Column 7: end tag for element "html" which is not open

</html>

_____________________________________________________________



My code is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" />

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

<title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
</style>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/reset.css" />

<link type="text/css" media="print" rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/print.css" />

<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
<?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/tech_hedposts" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 1.0" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />

I believe I resolved it. I took the / tag off the end of the html tag.

You sure you resolved it, is that the full code you posted. Remember the document should be like:


DOCTYPE GOES HERE
<html>

<head>
Head Stuff Goes Here
</head>

<body>
The page goes here
</body>

</html>


So theres a head and body to a document which both go inside the html. And you need to have a doctype at the very start so browsers know whether its html xhtml etc..
