<div class="clear"></div>

<h1>Title</h1>
<p>text</p>

</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
<div id="footer2"></div>

</div>

</body>
</html>


The code passes HTML validation, but then when I try it on the CSS validator, I get the following 2 errors:

* Line: 19

Parse error - Unrecognized : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Your Site</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="top"></div> <div id="left"> <h2>Navigation</h2> <div class="hr"> <hr /> </div> <p class="side"> <a href="#">→


* Line: 47 Context : Home

Parse Error - [empty string]


Anyone know what is wrong with it?

Umm its not CSS. I'm going to guess you are pasting this in the box on the CSS validator page. Read what it says carefully. It says you are only supposed to post CSS not HTML or give the direct link to the CSS file not the url.
