A simple page, that I want to validate so I can learn from it.

Any ideas why it does not?

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.datadork.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Thanks in advance..

I responded to your PM, but here's the answer in your thread too:

----------

First of all, since this isn't an XHTML document, you can get rid of xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" entirely - you're not validating to XHTML, so you don't need to mention it :)

Second, your description meta tag needs an actual description:

<meta http-equiv="description" content="This is James Edmonds' site. He's a real dork!">

Erm...make the content portion of your description whatever you'd like.

Again, another true profession on this forum, which is rare.

Thank you.
