Look at the forum source, same doctype, you place at the top of the page before any code starts

oh yes i see now

what about the other bit i asked about {my edit}

Oh you need to add the encoding. You see some browsers may not pick up certain symbols etc so by adding an encoding W3 can reconise how your website was coded

So in the head tags:

code:

---

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

---

Add that and it should work

ok it works now - sort of...
it keeps saying things arent aloud in DOCTYPE
like: <br> and: <ul>
etc
here is the result page:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fww...er.net%2Findex.htm

ya change <br> to <br /> tags. Why? Because every tag must be closed, so when you do <b>hi</b> you close the tag.

But you do not go <br></br> Now do we, so we just use a traling slash at the end <br />

i did though .. with most if not all
i have been careful doing that with this website
edit: checked by using "CRTL+F" and it says there are no "<br>" 's

Oh right for some reason you can't use <br /> tags in <li> tags. I had this problem before but i never really use <li>. There must be some reason, next time when you space do the next bullet point close the <li> tag before <br />

Edit: and that seems to be your only problem, the rest of the coding is great

just

code:

---

alt = ""

---

in your image tags

Edit 2:Atually change this code from your <h3> tags:

code:

---

       <h3>
           <ul>
               <li>
                   <a href="welcome.htm"> Welcome</a> </li>
                   <li>
