Here is something to try. I do not know if it will solve your problem however.

This is around line 300. I think it is the copyright character and it is not UTF-8:


/***********************************************
* Tab Content script v2.2- � Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

Delete whatever character the ? is from your source. Save your source file as UTF-8 in your editor. Then try to validate it again.

If you still can't validate by entering the URL, copy your source code from your browser, paste it into the validator and start correcting all the errors until it validates by inputting the URL.

You have a ton of validator errors. Next time validate as you code the page. You'll be able to catch errors as you go and not end up with a mess like this once you're done.

Errors found while checking this document as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!
Result: 610 Errors, 1128 warning(s)

Just so you know, if you disable JavaScript it completely messes up the layout of the page, you might want to fix this.

You are missing a closing bracket here.

hmmmm.

it seems that most of the my 618 Errors are because i have had to hard code in the drop down links on the index page. does anyone know what code i could use to call them from the database?
i have started a forum post on this question: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42957



i have added the bracket. but still no go.
to be honest, i have tried lots of different types of tab code and different css tabs they all seem to be missing the sides ???

<div id="country1" class="tabcontentbase" style=" background: color:#000; background:url(../images/sub-area-bg2.gif) left top repeat-x ; border:0px " alt="" />
<ul id="tablistbase" >
<li><a href="http://www.eventtrafik.com/login.php">LOGIN</a></li>
