Validator problem - HTML / CSS

Neal

I've just started a book course"HTML, Complete Course" from Seybold. It has
a confidence builder section which I did and it worked fine. But the actual
tutorial section at the beginning of the course is the problem. Ive typed in
the code and it comes up in the browser, but when I tery to validate it, it
fails on .....
Sorry, this type of URL scheme (file) is not supported by this service.
Please check that you entered the URL correctly.

URLs should be in the form: http://validator.w3.org/

If you entered a valid URL using a scheme that we should support, please let
us know as outlined on our Feedback page. Make sure to include the specific
URL you would like us to support, and if possible provide a reference to the
relevant standards document describing the URL scheme in question.

Remember that you can always save the page to disk and Validate it using the
File Upload interface.

Incomplete support for SSL and TLS is a known limitation and is being
tracked as Issue #77.

And if I try the file upload service I get.......

File: basic.html
Encoding: utf-8
Doctype: -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/EN
Errors: 1
Note:
The Validator XML support has some limitations.
This page is not Valid -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/EN!
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.

1.. Line 3, column 12: there is no attribute "xlmns"

<html xlmns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document
type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This
error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a
document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transition al" document
type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary
extensions such as "marginheig ht" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to
achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the
document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported
attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for
further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed
in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

2.. Yet I have typed all in correctly,,,oh sorry about the links.

Your problem appears to be that you are confusing HTML with xHTML. I
think you will find that xlmns is a valid attribute only for xHTML.

I think that's self-explanatory: don't use the file scheme. Upload
instead.

<html xlmns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The attribute is xmlns (XML namespace). Either you typed it
incorrectly or the book contains a typo.

Well yes - the validator can't reach in to your hard disk and grab a file
from it. You have to send the file to the validator, or run a server it can
ask for it.
1.. Line 3, column 12: there is no attribute "xlmns"
There isn't. Its "xmlns".
How to fix: check the spelling
