Hi,

I am unsure how to overcome two errors while validating...

I am validating with XHTML 1.0 Strict using w3c validator and have just two errors, both of which i do not posess the knowledge to fix (yet) I am researching on google but want to ask those with the knowledge!

First error is:
document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag.

<p><div id="special">

So, i guess i cannot place a div inside <p></p> tags? What is the best workaround for this?

Second error is:
there is no attribute "border".

…shing1.gif" alt="Fly Fishing" border="0" /></a></div>

This one confuses me, i understand that border is not used with the strict doctype but if i remove border i am left with purple lines around my image. The exact use in my script is

<div id="leftprom"><a href="activities.htm"><img src="img/fishing1.gif" alt="Fly Fishing" border="0" /></a></div>

What options do i have to fix this?

An unrelated question, when viewing my site with firefox i get strange characters in the top left hand corner of my page  any ideas? Methinks there must be an element somewhere on my page that firefox doesnt like possibly

you can't insert a div in a paragraph, add the id to the p instead of the div and change accordingly in the css if needed. add this to your css.

img { border: none; }

thank you for your guidance babyboy808,

My page now validates!

Change it to <p id="special"> that should work.
