For instance <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/" title="Get Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded"><img src="http://www. mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons/getfirefox_large2.png" width="178" height="60" border="0" alt="Get Firefox"></a> Should be <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/" title="Get Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded"><img src="http://www. mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons/getfirefox_large2.png" width="178" height="60" border="0" alt="Get Firefox" /></a> The difference is the / after "Get Firefox" If you do not do this it doesn't get trough W3C validator for XHTML
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> That page is not XHTML, it's HTML 4.01. Self-closing Image tags are not required in HTML 4.01, and will cause a lot of HTML 4.01 validators to fail.
