PSupplied link text doesn't conform.

[Doug Laidlaw]

Upon trying to edit my index page at
http://www.douglaidlaw.net/boykett/index.htm,

NVU says that it can't edit it for an "unknown reason." Putting it through
the W3C editor shows that I have routinely omitted the ALT= tag, and other
basic errors, that I know how to fix. But the main source of messages is a
link text I was supplied to link to a Bravenet Guestmap. I would rather
leave that kind of text alone. If I make it conform, it may no longer
work. Is that the common practice?

Another error is using "valign=top" in a table. If that is not valid, what
syntax should I use? Without a direction in the tag, the default
is "middle." The validator merely suggested that I switch to CSS, which I
think is a bit beyond me when it involves tables.

Doug.
