Basic HTML? End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'link'.

I have posted this also in the XML forum, as the code below actually came from an XML doc, but I think it's a basic HTML issue:

Original post
I am an IT consultant, but I work entirely on the hardware and networking side of things. I don't work with much (any) code. So most of what you guys do within this forum may as well be in Chinese. But I've got an issue that I hope you might help me resolve:

I've got a problem in front of me- a program that upon startup throws an error:

End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'link'.

I believe I've narrowed the problem down to a file called updateversion.xml

Code for that file is here:

[code]
<html>
<head>
<title>Internet Usage Terms and Conditions</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="css.php?color=000000" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<iframe name="header" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="855" height="40" src="welcome_head.php?res=notyet&uamip=192.168.182 .1&uamport=3990&challenge=84fa96bbc24a062090d00bd7 2b338265&userurl=&nasid=634&mac=00-1F-3A-1E-C7-00"></iframe>
<iframe name="main" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="1000" height="1500" src="welcome_main.php?res=notyet&uamip=192.168.182 .1&uamport=3990&challenge=84fa96bbc24a062090d00bd7 2b338265&userurl=&nasid=634&mac=00-1F-3A-1E-C7-00"></iframe>
</html>

I hope I posted that code correctly and I don't get kicked out of this forum. :) If anyone here has an answer, I'll be most appreciative.

Hello Jake.
I see a couple of errors
you have <link href="css.php?
should read <link href="css.php"

you have <iframe name="header" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="855" height="40" src="welcome_head.php?

should read <iframe name="header" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="855" height="40" src="welcome_head.php"

you have <iframe name="main" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="1000" height="1500" src="welcome_main.php?

should read as
<iframe name="main" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="1000" height="1500" src="welcome_main.php"

note typical iframe looks like this
[HTML]<iframe src="abc.php" name="test" width="200" height="78" scrolling="no"></iframe>[/HTML]

Hope that help you
nomad
PS make sure you have spaces between each field

I have to run out for a while but the error is probably caused by running html through an xml parser. What this means is XML is always looking for closing tags, such as <head></head>. The link element in html has no closing tag so it throws the error.
