I'm running behind this morning so I haven't looked at your source code as
close as one might.

So--Now that my suggestion is properly qualified, it would appear to me that
the JavaScript connected with the Braveheart counter just might be your
culprit.

I jump at this, as often, the little goodies we stick on our pages, will NOT
validate. Just because "we" worry about validation does not mean that others
do. However, in most browsers, they seem to work just fine.

Also--I see you have <NOSCRIPT> and </NOSCRIPT> inserted down near the
bottom. I would have thought that the </SCRIPT> above them would have done
the job.

You might try temporarily removing the Braveheart script and see if it
validates. If it does, I would put the script back in and get on with your
life--never looking back.

No mater what you may hear--especially on this list--validation is NOT an
absolute.

And lastly--sad to say--it might be something else and I just plain missed
it.

Best wishes
