Digressing, my default browser is Mozilla 1.7.13.


Worked ok for me in Firefox/2.0.0.3. Almost all the links are on the
map, with just a link on the image and mailto. The colour roll over on
the image is broken though.


Thanks for that, I'd deleted the roll-over code in error, should work now.


Works now.

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... :)

Thanks, I'll give that lot a try. Then update the rest of the site!
Originally composed using a set of templates and a macro-inserter. I really
ought to convert the lot to CSS when I get time.
