Thanks to all! I did misinterpret the error message. The font tag has
been fixed by adding "" around the color. I'm down to 24 errors ...
mostly MARGIN errors which I will figure out.
I do have one more error that I could use help with. The DOC TYPE ... I
don't know what I have or even how to find out. I know that sounds
idiotic but what can I say. I've read stuff on w3.org and other sites
but I've never run across a way to determine what I have. Maybe I'll
try the "trial and error" method.
Thanks,
Terry
