    That kind of thing can drive IE into Quirks Mode…

    Is there anyway to overcome these validation errors?

    There are a few guides out there, this one’s handy to me ;’):
    WordPress Troubleshooting: I have to validate? Oh MY!!

    I fixed two errors thanks to your guide. Now I need to address the remaining errors. Does anyone have any fixes for these?

    “font”
    “em”
    “a”

    font should not be used in your html/php page, as it is a deprecated element in xhtml 1.0 transitional, which is what your DTD claims your page is. Font styles defined in your CSS.

    <em> is an accepted, valid tag. It appears it’s not closed properly.

    <a> is also, obviously, a valid tag, which also needs to be closed.

    What would I have to add to close it?

    Open tag: <em>
    Close tag: </em>

    I suggest you read up on basic HTML if you don’t know what closing a tag means. There are some good tutorials floating around, google with “html tutorial”…

    alright thanks man. Ill try it out

    “Does anyone have any fixes for these?”

    Please don’t take this advice the wrong way, but you really should take the time to learn the basics of HTML and CSS otherwise your site management will continue to give you grief. Trust me, it will be time well worth investing.

    I have been getting this error in Internet Explorer 7.0, and when I ran my site through validation, it shows it is even responding to the Google validation meta tag in the header, which you need to track the indexing stats of your site in Google.

    So until IE 7.0 relaxs a bit on demanding ultra web-standards compliance, I don’t know if you will fully be able to get away from this.
