Validator just loves this puppy.
So don't tell me what I need to do, I know it already.
Just putting it up to show off my implementing of two different script
effects.

<shooting gallery>

And the content is where?.....Validator might love it, but the search
engines will hate it.....Unless you're optimising for the keywords "Item
One" "Item Two" "Subject 1" and "Subject 3".......

Got most of the errors fixed. Removed a lot of the font stuff which I don't
like anyway.
What's left are all the errors dealing with the <ilayer> tag and
attributes.
Now that, I have no clues on how to fix.
Is it from the type of document being used and if so, which document is
correct?

You still seem to have 85 errors.

Firstly, the automatically generated Geocities script at the top of your
source means that the <!DOCTYPE> is not the first line, so the doctype
can't be identified.

Secondly, <ILAYER> and <LAYER> are not valid HTML tags, they're some
stupid Netscape proprietary additions. This is what happens when you
just copy-and-paste code from elsewhere without thinking about it.

Really. From my recollection of early-years maths, 85 and 85 are the
same number.

It's new math. It's not as important how "correct" the answer is so long
as you feel good about the process...

Wellllll duhhhhhh.

I know that. So explain then why it works in IE 6?
Not to mention firefox.

I saw the <layer> tags in the code before applying it.
I wasn't sure if it would work or not. If it works, what the hell?
My editor had no problems dealing with it. And it's ancient history stuff.

That's some good trolling logic there. You know it's invalid HTML, but
you wonder why the validator doesn't like it?

And what exactly do you mean by "it works"? What visual difference is it
making in IE or Firefox, exactly?

They ignore them. As far as all browsers except Netscape 4 is
concerned the code that looks like:

<div class="middle">
<ilayer id="d1" width="200" height="200" visibility="hide">
<layer id="d2" width="200" height="200">
<div id="descriptions" align="left">
....content...
</div>
</layer>
</ilayer>
</div>

might as well be:

<div class="middle">
<bollocks>
<div id="descriptions" align="left">
....content...
</div>
</bollocks>
</div>

And is treated as if it was:

<div class="middle">
<div id="descriptions" align="left">
....content...
</div>
I saw the <layer> tags in the code before applying it.

And didn't think to do a bit of research into what it was and why it
was there?
I wasn't sure if it would work or not. If it works, what the hell?

If you don't know what it is or what it's supposed to do how can you
possibly know whether you're using it properly or whether it will
cause problems in other browsers?
My editor had no problems dealing with it.

I'm sure your editor would also cope with said:
And it's ancient history stuff.

Bingo. It's Netscape 4.x stuff from 1997. That is ancient history.

Your page is totally FUBAR in Netscape 4 so including relics like
<layer> isn't helping you with compatability for the poor souls who
still use that browsers. So is there any point in keeping it in there?
Go on have a guess. It's a yes/no question so even you have a 50%
chance of being right.

Duh. The version you're so stoopidly boasting about isn't valid, you
dipshit.
