Unrecognized file format prolem with valid html, please help!

I have a web application that for the real estate industry. Here is
one of the sites using said application.

http://www.wellsre.com

As you can see if you click this link here
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ww.wellsre.com

This site validates just fine using the w3 validator

the problem that i have is that google does not recognise the file
format of this site

check this link here
http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...TF-8&q=wellsre
and this link here

http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache...+wellsre&hl=en

I am not sure why this page which validates just fine with the w3
validator is not reconised and spidered properly by google

as you can imagine my clients are less than happy about this and I am
at a loss for what to do about it.

If anyone has any ideas for me they would be much appreciated.

thank you

You have the HTML tag on the same line as the DOCTYPE. Most unusual. Try
putting them on separate lines.

Where is the rest of it? That is, what is the actual filename
and why is the trailing slash missing?

Adding a meta http-equiv with the content type might help. Are
you certain the server is sending the correct content type for
this file?

The "HTML" in your content-type is all-caps. Try fixing that.

The HTTP response headers [1] contain:

Content-Type: text/HTML; Charset=ISO-8859-1

I suspect that may be the problem. I've never seen the content type
fields written in uppercase, they're usually written in lowercase. I
don't know if it's invalid or not to have it in uppercase (according to
the relevant RFCs: RFC 2616 (HTTP1.1), 2045 (MIME) or 2046 (Media
Types)), but perhaps google doesn't recognise it like that. Fix your
server to send:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Also, even though it is valid HTML, you should look into replacing all
those layout tables and presentational elements/attributes with CSS, and
use a DOCTYPE that doesn't trigger quirks mode [2] in browsers. You
should also use <p> instead of <br><br> to create seperate paragraphs.

eg. Write this:
<p>paragraph 1 ...</p>
</p>paragraph 2 ...</p>

instead of:
paragraph 1 ...
<br><br>
paragraph 2 ...

Oh, never mind, I see now.

What is the file format? You never told us.

Possibly unrelated but worth mentioning - in Opera 7.23 the page appears
two times if I reload. One below the other.

Bizarre.

You and your browser don't need to know that.
and why is the trailing slash missing?


It isn't.
P.S. I'm a big fan of proper attributions, but four lines does seem
like a superabundance of riches.
