    It tells you the errors, you can go through and edit the code to get rid of them.

    There are quite a lot. You could probably hire someone to go through and fix them all.

    I used to have 600 errors and it goes down to this. Problem is I can remove the them but it will complete destroy the pages. Is there an alternative to the coding?

    1. You can never use marquee in HTML, so get rid of that and use Javascript, or better yet, just live without it.

    For things like table height="28", just use table style="height:28px".


    You just need to fix your code.

    You can get rid of about half your errors by finding every & and changing it to &
    which will still work in browsers but stops the validator from trying to parse it (if that's the correct term). & is a special character, and you don't want it in your HTML.

    Change document type to HTML 4.01 Transitional and remove short tags for the input fields. You should end up with... 30 errors, then replace & with & as the person above said.
