[RESOLVED] Need help with validating xhtml site

When I try to validate my site in the w3.org validator, I only get an error message. Anyone know hoe to fix this? The doctype I use is this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd“>

The site is here: [URL=http://www.famweb.rddox.com]www.famweb.rddox.com[/URL]

@Stephen_PhilbinNov 14.2006 — Are you using some sort of word processor to create your web pages? You have strange characters in your markup that the validator does not recognize. You don't have anything that specifies the character encoding either. You could do with having you web server at least send a generic character encoding header by default and also specifying an encoding in a <meta> tag in the <head> of your document. For example:

[code=html]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
[/code]


If you are using some sort of word processor to create your web pages, then I strongly suggest you switch to using a standard text/code editor. My personal favourite is [url=http://www.jedit.org/]jEdit[/url], though the forum's search feature should also bring up a few hundred of this forum's "What's your favourite editor?" threads, each with many excellent recommendations.

@ReddoxauthorNov 14.2006 — Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it.

What do you mean by strange characters?

I use notepad, but I'll try your program when I get home ?

@ReddoxauthorNov 15.2006 — Ok, I found a meta. So the site is now approved ?

Btw, I'm now using jEdit

Success!
