ePub validation error - not liking div tags

[Toxaris]

Glad that it does work and reports an error. It reminds me of a thread some weeks ago about a stylesheet which didn't give an error upon validation and everyone agreed that it was the stylesheet. I ran it through the validation and got the error alright.

Probably some autocorrection going on.

Yep. It was definitely the built-in, well-formed code check of Sigil's. It's usually quite vocal about most issues when it's turned on; so its silent corrections threw me for a bit of a loop.

Anyway... glad it's sorted. I assumed from the beginning (as did everyone else, of course) it was invalid xhtml, but couldn't understand why it kept passing numerous validation engines in spite of my assumptions.

Thank you Jellby for your solution and everybody else. Playing around with the html, when not driving me crazy, I found to be almost fun!

Just one more quick question, related to divs not being allowed inside spans.

I have a couple of images that I want to act as hyperlinks when touched.
The default code I get in my epub is this

<p class="body"><span class="body" style="font-size:0.86em;"><br/></span><a href="http://www.mywebexample.com"><span class="body" style="font-size:0.86em;"><img class="image" width="7%" src="images/E4402%20FB_fmt.jpeg" alt="E4402%20FB.png"/></span></a></p>

But i need to use replace the image reference with this

<div class="group5">
<img src="images/E4404%20HT_fmt.jpeg" alt="website icon" />
</div>

However I've tried several different to blend the second code with the hyperlink and none work. Any ideas please?

<div class="group5">
<a href="http://www.mywebexample.com"><img src="images/E4404%20HT_fmt.jpeg" alt="website icon" /></a>
</div>

But I have never been able to make an image link work in an Adobe-based reader.
