To start with, to comply with strict, you need to change all of your html tags to lowercase.

No they're not. When I do a 'view source' on your page, ALL of your tags are in UPPERCASE.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Index of /~luthazar/test/music</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Index of /~luthazar/test/music</H1>
<UL><LI> Parent Directory
<LI> best_music_tester.html

<LI> bongos.jpg
<LI> bongos_clip.mp3
<LI> harmonica.jpg
<LI> harmonica_clip.mp3
<LI> new_bong.html
<LI> new_harm.html

<LI> new_rec.html
<LI> recorder.jpg
<LI> recorder_clip.mp3
</UL></BODY></HTML>

acshaly, they are, but you're not looking at the right page.
If you look at the first post the URL is missing some
stuff...
...
...
you're seeing someone else's code to describe the
directories on my site (index of...). you need the whole
URL, which am:
http://home.earthlink.net/~luthazar...
best_music_tester.html
the ... part of the URL above should say:
/test/music/
and i don't know why it don't
as in, the page called
best_music_tester.html
is in a folder called music in a folder called test on my
site. sorry for the confusion.

Assuming I'm getting to the page you're referring to, it does validate.

validated

The maintainer of this site doesn't appear to want to meet the needs of programmers. There are no [code] tags, so posting on this site is a real pain in the %^*%$#.

no doubt with the pain. i was able to fix the markup by
putting the imgs in one big div and the inputs in their own
little divs, bliieve it or don't. i guess xhtml strict likes things
in separate containers. who knew? thanks for keeping me
honest!
