ok i have two major problems:

1. in the header:

HTML

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link href="sitefiles/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<title>Title Here</title>
</head>

the validator doesnt like the two "/>" tags for the meta and link. how can i fix this???

2. what is a substute for the border tag, xhtml 1.1 doesnt like it, so i need something else to make sure that there are no borders around images that link to places.

Thanks

Did you add an XHTML <!DOCTYPE> declaration BEFORE the <html> tag?

Example:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Title Here</title>
</head>

<body>
Body of document here
</body>

</html>

Add this to your style.css file:

CODE

img { border: 0; }

OR

Add this in the header (<head></head):

HTML

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

you are missing the space in the doctype

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

not

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

And the following line:

HTML

does not require a space between the last quote and the end tag, as the HTML parameter does have it's own closing tag.
