EPUB Validation errors

[vhin3125]

Hi guys,

First off I want to thank you for reading this thread...and I apologies if this isn't the right section to post this. I already read a couple of threads but can't see any previous posts similar to the errors that I am having.

Anyway, here's the report that I received from one of epub validator:

Your ePub file: fast-track-7-rules-to-get-good-with-women-in-months-not-years.epub was checked for ePub 1.0.5 version and was found NOT valid.

I also tried using FlightCrew and saw the message:

attribute 'start' is not declared for element 'ol'

hope you guys can help me. Thanks!

Yes, you are using "start" in an <ol> element, and it's not allowed.

In other words, you can't start your numbered lists in anything but the first element.
