What do these errors mean?
FYI <br>✉ You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by: incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element), by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case). <html>✉ You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name.

Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that demonstrates the problem?
BTW, what tool are you using that generates these error messages? |

Since the validator doesn't know what spec you follow, it says all elements and attributes are undefined.
