sad.gif I am writing this as somewhat of a newbie, so please bear with me. My current website (www.financiallyfreebiz.com) has been edited using NVU. But, as you can see, there appear to be almost 21 errors on the page. The problem is, 1. I can't find where the errors are; 2. Therefore, I do not know how to correct them.

I have received feedback that the onmouseover text may be incorrect, but that doesn't appear to be the case when I look in my NVU editor.

Is it possible that NVU changes the html text, causing errors when it is displayed on the Internet Explorer browser?

Thank you in advance for your help!

The validator tells you were the HTML errors are. smile.gif
Click on the links (for example "line 199") and you are taken to the correct line in the code.

Error: there is no attribute TITLE for this element (in this HTML version)


There is no attribute 'title' because there is no element COMMENT. It's a malformed HTML comment. It's written as if it was an element. See here how to write a comment.

No, there isn't. 'xmlns' belongs in XHTML but you say you are writing HTML. Just remove it.

All images should have an alt attribute.

You also have a bunch of JavaScript errors. Your browser should be able to tell you a little more about those. Look in Options and see if you can turn script debugging on.

I don't know, but I don't think NVU does that. In any case I'm pretty sure these errors aren't caused by the software.

And the tag-comment.gif has an url that can't be managed: chrome://editor/content/images/tag-comment.gif
