Re: P and center won't validate

Hi Ben

I think the problem is with the line immediately above the one you refer to
(and probably something similar causing the problem elsewhere in the page).
I took a look at your main page, and you've currently got:

<td valign="top" width="142">
<small>
<p class="hrp"><b>Complete Internet<br>

Problem is that <small> has to go after <p> or <center>, and then should be
closed before the closing </p> or </center> tags.  If you make it:

<td valign="top" width="142">
<p class="hrp"><small><b>Complete Internet<br>
...
</small></p>

I think you'll get rid of the validation errors you're referring to.
That's what I'd try anyway!  :-)

Regards,
Donna
