Empty SGML parser results in w3 validator

[Boris Kester]

Hello,

I tried to validate this page: http://www.traveladventures.org/xhtml/
daralhajar01.html on validator.w3.org and got a message that the page is
not valid transitional xhtml. However, after this message: Below are the
results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser - I
got nothing! So I have no clue what the problem might be. I tried to
remove some Javascript but that did not make any difference. So now I
have a page that wouldn't validate but I have no clue what the problem
could be...

Any suggestions most welcome.

Change

"-//W3C//DTD HTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

to

"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

'Twas easy to see when I attempted to validate your CSS.

You have an XHTML doctype. You need a closing slash.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
should be:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

...though why you want XHTML *Traditional* is beyond me. At least use
Strict for new documents. Or ... just use HTML 4.01 Strict.
So I have no clue what the problem might be.
The above trick was a bit of a roundabout.

Look at your page in a browser at 800x600.

My popup blocker (native Firefox) kills your "Tell a friend" window.

I'm not sure about the nesting of all those <div>s but we won't know
until you fix your coding error.

Isn't that the doctype for Amish sites or Morris dancing?
