Hello Diane,

The validation issue is in the following markup at line 115.

 112: <div align="left">
 113:   <table border="0" width="650" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="10>
 114:     <tr>
 115: <img src="blank.gif" width="4" height="1" hspace="1" alt="spacer for
Synthesis Industries">

You have omitted the td after the tr. Rewrite this as:

<tr>
  <td>
   <img src="blank.gif" width="4" height="1" hspace="1" alt="spacer for
Synthesis Industries">
  </td>
  <td>...
and I think you should be OK.

You also have some problems with the CSS. In the following rules, the
options are separated with the bar.  Choose whichever is desired.

body, p {
	font-style: normal | italic | oblique;
	font-weight: normal | bold | bolder | lighter | values 100-900;
	font-size: 1.2em; /*no space between numeral and unit*/
	padding: 0em; /*same here and the two lines below
			    either remove the space, or just state 0*/;}

You have put the space in between number and unit in several elements which
you have to correct to have the css validate.

If you have problems let me know.
