Hi all, I have a persistent syntax error notification with my editor that I cannot get my head around. I have no problem tidying up any other errors that get flagged in my html except this one! I would be awfully grateful for any assistance offered!

HTML SYNTAX ERRORS IN (Filename)
The following HTML elements have problems

div.inner - is not properly closed (closing tag is section)

Here is my code: https://bit.ly/4adqiXZ

Thanks in advance!!

I hope you study coothead's example well. I ran your code through the W3 validator myself. It reported so many errors that it stopped after around 20 errors. The HTML you pointed to is not even valid HTML. You have placed the footer and script tags after the closing /html tag. And you can't have spaces in file name in an href attribute. The space must be converted to %20
