Ok, yes it is me once again...but this time I have real errors, actually 27 errors. But they are all the same thing. One is, it will not let me use the "<br />" tag...I don't understand...I used the correct one with the space and ending slash what is wrong.

Next, a "·" code, why will this not validate...what the heck am I doing wrong. Both of these things I have done on other pages and they validated...why not here?

Here is the URL to the w3c valuator.

Well first off, if you're using XHTML Strict, you can't have a <br /> tag just sitting in the <body> tag. Strict stipulates that it must be placed in one of the following:

Quote

"p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del"

So wrapping everything in one big <div> or something like that will fix the majority of your errors...

As for the other error, i really don't know :S

So does any one have any ideas about the "·" issue?

After some investigation, I believe you can't have that "character" · or any like it after LI's. The validator is stating that it is out of place. Technically it is in nowhere land.
