Validation errors

[Woody619]

Hi, I have been working on my validation errors.
I had about 40 now down to 27 mostly one link and a few images.
The link in my header pointing to 'help', two of my sideboxes and the rest are < or >?

My site www.anythingframed.co.uk

Hi,

I just looked over your validation and such and to what I can see is that you just haven't closed all the arguments either properly or at all. Example: < img src="images/woodland-trust.gif"> should be
<img src="images/woodland-trust.gif"

Notice there is no space in between the backet and "img". Some of your errors come from opening a divider and not closing or closing twice.

Example: <div>whatever here, etc<div> (what you may have)
<div>whatever here, etc.</div></div> (what you have)
<div>whatever here, etc.</div>(what it should be)

Thiese are little points I did notice, and hopefully this helps you out.

Thanks for the reply.
Everything I try I make more errors or mess something up on the site.
This is how that images code is.
<img src="images/woodland-trust.gif"
alt="Woodland Trust Member">

And whats so wrong with this code it comes up with so many errors.
<li><a href="/index.php?main_page=page&id=1&chapter=20">Help</a></li>

It probably wants those & symbols to be represented as &amp;

Thanks that got rid of 5 errors.
Down to 23 now.

How could I improve this code for one of my sideboxes.

<table align="center">
<a href="http://www.anythingframed.co.uk/index.php?main_page=free_prize_draw" target="_blank"><img src="images/free_prize_draw_130px.gif"
    alt="Free Prize Draw">
   </td> 
  <td align="center">
<img src="images/m-f-made-in-uk.gif"
    alt="Made In The Uk">
   </td>
<tr>
   <td align="center">
<img src="images/woodland-trust.gif"
    alt="Woodland Trust Member">
   </td>
</table>

IMG tags need to be "self-closing".

ie: add the closing slash, like this:

<img src="images/woodland-trust.gif"
    alt="Woodland Trust Member" />

Thank you.

Now all 20 errors left are with < or > ?
