So I see, very confusing though, eg error 6 says that /head has no opening
head element but that is in the second line of the page. Most of the
errors are due to a wrong Doctype declaration, should be 4.01 rather than
3.6. Changing that reduces it to 5 errors, which still includes the /head
'error'. I think that has something to do with the meta tags but I'll have
to read up on it.


Try the following:
1) Change the doctype to:
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"

2) Add type="text" to your SCRIPT tag.

3) Move the BASEFONT tag from the head to the body (or better
still, delete it completely). If you leave it in, you need to add a
SIZE parameter.

3) Remove the ul and /ul tags.


It should now validate. Of course it might not work now...
