I do, since you seem to be surprised at simple facts. Why did you use a
validator in the first place, if you don't know what validation is about.

Really? Then your page has 31 errors, not 6.

No, I don't, and your page still has 31 errors. And the 25 are really your
fault too. _You_ decided to use a hosting service (let me guess... a "free"
hosting service) that contaminates your document with invalid markup.
Besides, _you_ asked for free help, so _you_ make it easy to us to see the
real problems and test your page easily.

Thank &Deity; I avoided that.
You still have to learn that this is not a helpdesk, there is no such thing
as a free lunch, and you ignored the chances of learning to fish, and asked
us not to try to teach you such things in the future. You preferred
swallowing a rather old cod. And you didn't even say thanks for all the
fish.
