Good day (or evening) depending on your time zone.

This is my first post so please forgive any gaffs or errors.

I have been building a new design for our company web page and one of my=20
goals is to make it HTML 4.0 transitional compliant.  I have everything=20
fixed except for the following, which puzzles me:

The following is the output from running the  W3C validator;
--snip---
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML=20
parser.
=B7       Line 177, column 22:
   <OL START=3D"1" TYPE=3D"1">
                         ^
Error: document type does not allow element "OL" here; missing one of=20
"APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag

--end snip ---
I am confused about the requirements for an <OL>, why the need for the=20
mentioned start tags?  I have checked the docs on W3C for HTML=20
transitional, related FAQ and was lead to the mailing list.

I am using HotDog 5.5 as my editor, the site can be found at:

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
