    Default XHTML 1.0 Transitional

    My site, created in Dreamweaver 8, at present is as simple as you can get:

    [url]www.sonicavenger.comwww.sonicavenger.com[/url]

    The homepage title and sole-link (the lightning-flash) both display + work
    properly in Firefox; In IE the title will NOT display, though again, the link
    works fine.
    Once the homepage link is clicked, the 'Contents' page consists of 3 links,
    which all function properly, except that in the 'Blogsonic' page, the banner
    header works in Firefox, but has the left and right edges cut-off in IE.

    So, acting on advice from a Newsgroup reader on this forum, I ran a W3C
    validation-test.

    First thing it told me see was: ?This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0
    Transitional!? followed by 16 errors, presumably caused by the above, which as
    far as I can tell, is wrong, as I have this setting checked as the default
    setting for all new documents and sites.
    What we?re talking about here is one 2-word line of text! As I say, all seems
    well in Firefox, but only in IE does the problem arise.
    Any suggestions?
    This is driving me NUTS! Any help would be very gratefully recieved.
    Many thanks in advance!

    It displays for me in IE6 -

    <title>index.html</title>

    You have told the validator to validate the page against XHTML1.0 -

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

    You blow this validation right below the embedded stylesheet -

    <meta name="Keywords" content="age of chance, geoff taylor, geoff t,
    guitars, guitar, C86, hip hop, dance, 1000 years of trouble, designers
    republic, john peel" />

    <p>&nbsp;</p>

    Although you have an opening <head> tag, you have no corresponding </head>
    and no <body> tags.

    The rest of your errors are most likely due to the Flash on the page - which
    will not validate the way that DW (or any other HTML authoring system to
    date) writes that code.

    Thanks for that. I'll look into it. Do I have to manually add code when using Flash in DW?
