thedarkman may toss HTML elements about randomly, but you see to use the
same process with words. I cannot make any sense from what you write. I
sure hope that English is your *second* language.

Hot-Text, or any of several other nyms, uses a random word generator.
English is his first language, but he doesn't use it.

I'm glad I continue to amuse you but this time you have shot
yourselves in the foot. The code was generated when I saved the WORD
document. I made very minor alterations which appear to have decreased
the number of errors, in particular I inserted:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

after removing the original.

Also, I can't for the life of me understand a lot of what this program
says. For example:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

now it says

document type does not allow element "P" here; missing one of
"APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag


<p><h3><center> Compiled by Jack Staw</center>

I'm not using applets, maps or any of the above. Whay is wrong with
the <p> and where should it go?

and

an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name
characters

<FONT COLOR=<"000000"></h3><h4><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Note: This
questionnaire is n…

literal what?

All I want is to display the last line. Can this be done with minimal
coding?

Change to :

And don't ever, ever, convert a doc to html.

Sheesh

In this case, the error usually occurs before the indicated point.
However, the validator doesn't know where you went wrong, it only knows
that when it reached the indicated point, it encountered invalid, for
that point in the whole sequence of elements, markup.

What is wrong is that somewhere *before* this line you have inserted a
valid start tag of an element that can not contain a <p> element, but
have not closed that start tag, and so you can not start a <p> here.

You do this a lot, you have been told about it in the past, and you have
ignored what you have been told, so I see little point in reminding you
yet again of which elements must go inside which other elements.

In this case, it is pointing pretty accurately to the problem, namely an
attribute of the indicated element that has been incorrectly declared.

Yes, you just need to fix the broken html. But I'm not going to bother
telling you how to do it, because you never listen when people do.

It has become apparent that the only way that you will code valid html is
when it prevents your pages being displayed. Therefore, the best strategy
for the rest of us to adopt is not to fix your pages for you, but instead
to point and laugh until you either learn to get it right or find someone
else to bother.
