Can anyone see what is going wrong with my Doctype and Meta tags for this page to stop it from validating? It is driving me potty and from the W3C website, it sems OK.

Thanks, Ian

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's because your DOCTYPE is a hybrid (and by that I mean you are saying "XHTML 1.1 Strict" and pointing at the XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD file)...

It's

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 Strict//EN"
"http://w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


And it should be

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">


I think.

Thanks Mike!

It now works as XHTML 1.1. I have also worked out what I had done wrong. XHTML 1.0 has the 3 flavours (frameset, transitional and strict) but XHTML 1.1 is essentially just strict so no extra declarations are needed. My code was XHTML 1.0 Strict and works as 1.1 if I get my DTD right. Simple when I think about it.

Cheers, Ian
