is it better to be strict than transitional?

can't say i know too much about that side of it, haha

I would have thought strict was better. I suppose as long as it validates it's ok. Transitional is for websites bringing the code up to meet strict validation

You want strict and not traditional

Okay, I changed it to strict and tried putting all of the <noscript> bits inside <p> but it still comes up with the same error

Here it is, all working...

hmm, this is puzzling

the homepage does indeed validate as strict

however each other page shows 1 error, the same <noscript> one....however each page features 2 sets of <noscript> tags..and they're formatted in the same way as the homepage, with the <p> tags inside them.

the homepage is also the only page that works when i remove the script file (this forcing it to run the noscript section)

have you changed the doctypes on the other files?

found the problem

the whole scripting section at the top was accidentally being included in the <h3> tag.

moved the closing tag to where it should be and now all the pages validate as strict

i'm not gonna break any browsers, woo

Glad I could help. I learned a lot too (this is the first time I've even tried to validate anything )
