It looks like you have set the EZpage separator to :: . Since you aren't displaying them anyway, try changing them to just the   in Admin - Configuration - EZ Pages Settings. Your template designer has made the EZ page links into list items, which may be causing the problem.

How do you mean?

i have just set the ezy settings to blank no &nbs; errors gone now but will this affect anything but now i have more errors?
thanks

No it will not hurt to eliminate the separator; your template handles the ez-page links as list items, so the separator's purpose of distinguishing between links is not needed.

Thanks

PROBLEMS

Line 560, Column 22: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

alt="web counter"></a></div></noscript>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Line 571, Column 97: document type does not allow element "link" here

…eet" type="text/css" href="http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/eu-cookie/main.css"/>

The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).

One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error

Error Line 573, Column 108: there is no attribute "read_more"

…tinternet.co.uk/eu-cookie/require-opt-in.js" read_more=privacy-polivy></script>

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

Error Line 573, Column 108: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified

…tinternet.co.uk/eu-cookie/require-opt-in.js" read_more=privacy-polivy></script>

Line 574, Column 8: required attribute "type" not specified

<script>

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

Line 591, Column 7: end tag for "div" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</body></html>


You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">"

Any Help Apreciated
Thanks
