Hi Angus,

I was admiring the excellent standards compliant code you've used for your site, and I thought I'd run it through the w3c validator assuming it would pass with flying colours.. when to my surprise it didn't validate, were you aware of this?

I'm sure it would only take a couple of minor alterations to make it pass.. or do you have a particular reason (such as browser bugs/hacks/workarounds) for leaving out or including code that is preventing it from validating?

Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that it's an excellent site, I just thought it was worth mentioning..

The reason is I'm lazy :). Most of the new code I have in the beta test area /test/ validates, with the exception of 2 minor extra non-standard attributes in the menu script I use for NS4 compatibility (which you can easily remove) and some ILAYER/LAYER tags in the HVScroller.

When I next do a site update I'll make the thing validate to XHTML Transitional or similar, there's nothing in the scripts stopping validation (assuming they're external .JS files).

Hmm... Almost 4 years old topic but still :)
You have a minor (copy-paste?) error on the front page, one paragraph ends to a </h3> tag so it wont validate.

Cool site otherwise!
