Hi,

My guess (without being able to see the actual file) is that you have anchor tags < a > that exist inside the < body > tag but that are not inside any other < div > or <p > tags.

The xhtml spec basically says that inline tags can not be directly inside the body tag and should instead be inside a block tag of some sort (i.e p or div) tag.

Any easy way to fix this is to run tidy and set the command switches for strict xhtml and to have it wrap these tags with either a div or a p.

My guess for what it is worth.
