Exactly why I posted. This is my first step.

They flag phantom html errors, not (as I said) javascript errors,
and of course it's not the fault of the html validators.

That may be a good idea, would it have advantages other than the one
discussed here I wonder? I'd have to look into how it would work for
affiliate links and banners that are different on each page though.

I have yet to learn about doing such things. I hate having to use
other people's rubbish code. It seems to me that the overwhelming
majority of affiliate link code is poorly coded javascript. You are
right that I should learn what code is being put on my site but I am
so busy running and updating my site I have not had time. I do need
the affiliate links though so it's something I've seen as a necessary
evil.
Thanks for the links
