(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

spun off from bug 115355.

As a government site, they should follow the standards.  DD is not permitted
within DT per the spec.

mass resassign of all gov sites to the gov component. You may filter for 
these changes by searching for the string

I sent this email to [e-mail]:
You are using some invalid HTML on
http://www.state.nh.us/government/agencies.html that prevents the page from
rendering correctly in Mozilla and other standards-based browsers.  The problem
and solutions are very simple.  What you are doing is nesting definitions (<dd>)
within defined terms (<dt>).  This is incorrect.  All you need to do is close
the defined terms tags and your page should appear fine.  For more details on
this issue, please see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115468.  If
you need additional help, just let me know.
