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 .....

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 "Transitional" document
type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary
extensions such as "marginheight" (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.
