I took Jason's advice, and tried to put my home page
(http://www.nbacares.org) through the validator.w3.org. This revealed
that I don't have doctypes on any of my pages (I thought DW put that in
the code automatically, and frankly never checked.)
So, I pasted a doctype in, and ran my home page through again. To my
dismay, the report was extensive...starting with a big Bar and text
reading "This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!" <Blush> It
proceeds to say "Below are the results of attempting to parse this
document with an SGML parser", followed by 183 problems for me to solve!
The most common listing is like this: Line 12, column 29: required
attribute "TYPE" not specified (explain...).
<script language="JavaScript">
I've read the explanation a couple of times, and can't make sense of
what I've done wrong...could someone steer me in the right direction?
(I'm pretty much self-taught, and now going back to try to learn to do
things right.)
Thanks to all
Bill

Adding a doctype would be the best place to start, such as HTML 4.01
transitional:

<DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

For more info see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html

I highly recommend using W3C to validate pages http://validator.w3.org/
