The validator is not complaining about the "<" sign. Most time when
"pointing" at that "spot", is where the error is detected because of
something is missing in the tag or somewhere before that. If you read
the expanation under the error, you will get a hint what's wrong.
E.g. this:
Line 268 column 7: end tag for element "DIV" which is not open.
</div> (the ">" in read and underlinded)
Explanation: The Validator found an end tag for the above element (the
"element" is the whole div tag), but that element is not currently
open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that
was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you
have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed.
On line 61 you have a META tag for keywords within the body part of
the page, that's not allowed. All META must be within the <head> and
</head> part.
BTW, what's the idea with using imagemaps to all images that is only
one single link? Why isn't a simple <a href="....">image</a> good enough?
