</html><!--content-->All I can think of is to make sure that you aren't using M$ proprietary elements in the document, or in the scripts. Anything M$ proprietary will not validate.<br />
<br />
Also, just a suggestion, you should use a server side language with your guestbook. The way it is now, only 87% of your users will be able to use it.

There wasn't any MS only code. The guestbook markup was using a tag called <ENTRIES> which isn't valid. They switched the tag to something that would validate, <div id="entries">. The problem is that the JS is looking for the <ENTRIES> tag which isn't there anymore. They are trying to change the JS so it treats the new tag in the same way as it did they old tag.<br />
<br />
While doing it server side is the more ideal way of doing it, it might not be an option using that webhost.<!--content-->thanx spufi
