This Page Tentatively Validates As XHTML 1.0 Transitional (Tentatively Valid)!
Tip Of The Day:
<title>: the most important element of a quality Web page.

DOCTYPE Override in effect! Any DOCTYPE Declaration in the document has been suppressed and the DOCTYPE for «XHTML 1.0 Transitional» inserted instead. The document will not be Valid until you alter the source file to reflect this new DOCTYPE.
Note: The Validator XML support has some limitations.
Note: You can also view verbose results by setting the corresponding option on the Extended Interface.
The document located at <http://www.distorted-visions.net> was tentatively found to be Valid. That means it would validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional if you updated the source document to match the options used (typically this message indicates that you used either the Document Type override or the Character Encoding override).

If you use CSS in your document, you should also check it for validity using the W3C CSS Validation Service.

If you would like to create a link to this page (i.e., this validation result) to make it easier to re-validate this page in the future or to allow others to validate your page, the URI is <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.distorted-visions.net> (or you can just add the current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).

that is what I get when I try to validate my site... the css validation works fine, no errors or anything, but when I validate for XHTML it shows the above... anybody know the reason? to save my bandwidth, here are my codes in this msg:

<!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">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="Name" content="Distorted Visions" />
<meta name="Creator" content="Xiphias" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="cascade.css" type="text/css" />
<title> revamping in progress... don't touch that dial! </title>
</head>

<body>

<p align="center">sorry to be telling you this, but the site is being

revamped -- content is being added, removed, edited, and so on etc...

Try coming back about the last week of April, should be complete by

then. Thanks!</p>

When I click on the link to validate it (last paragraph of quote) it works perfectly fine... so it may have just been some weird little thing that happened.

I've tried over and over again and it always says Tentatively Valid, but when you do click that link at the end of the quote it says fully valid... I don't get it

maybe someone else could validate it for me?
