hello
Ive noticed that my site looks completely different on some browsers. I searched the forums and found the page validator . I came up with 17 errors. What I'm not understanding is the technical language. Can someone halp me sort through this. I have a habit of going in and changing the file and messing things up. Heres what i came up with: Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.
1. Error Line 195 column 84: end tag for "div" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

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

You have used a character that is not considered a "name character" in an attribute value. Which characters are considered "name characters" varies between the different document types, but a good rule of thumb is that unless the value contains only lower or upper case letters in the range a-z you must put quotation marks around the value. In fact, unless you have extreme file size requirements it is a very very good idea to always put quote marks around your attribute values. It is never wrong to do so, and very often it is absolutely necessary.

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>.
