Did you forget to close a (double) quote mark?--"

Anyone wanna take a stab at what caused this;)

Fixed. My bad, actually :)

Thanks for pointing out an error on my page in a reasonable mannner that I could swiftly fix.

I did what any reasonable person would do (hehe;)

Snit... you're claiming that it's *Sandman's* code that is not validating. How were you able to determine that *he* wrote the code that is causing the validation errors you've claimed are from *his* code (as opposed to code generated by the "system" he's using)?

Actually, the "system" (CMS) I'm using is called Atlas and is developed solely by me.

After having worked (interspersing my own php code, html, css, javascript) with things like Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, etc. I can certainly see how errors can be tossed out. I can even see how difficult it would be to track them down depending on the error. This is *nothing* like creating a website from a Dreamweaver template or even making your own site from scratch using DW. It's hilarious to watch gluehead try to compare these two very different things... I'd like to see that idiot code up a CMS from scratch. He's even aware that you coded the CMS from scratch, yet, he's still trying to compare his errors to those generated by tons of code that generates markup, code he likely couldn't even recognize. Of course, he is an "IT teacher" so maybe he writes these kind of systems from the ground up all the time and never has any errors (yeah, right;)

So any errors in output would be in direct relation to errors I've made. Sure, I've had employees at times, but 99% of all code is mine. That doesn't mean, of course, that all errors are due to "incompetence" about CSS or HTML, since this is a very dynamic system, lots of the output is the result of the combination of a lot of functions.

I have a decent understanding of how this stuff works now (took me awhile;)

That means that the CSS (for example) isn't contained as plain text in a text file, it's actually compiled from a number of sources, even database and sent to the browser, at which point errors could be made when parsing or rendering the data.

Ah... I've never done this as coming from a database... sounds interesting.

This makes for a very dynamic system that fits my self-employed kind of business.
