Values are quoted in html,
measurements other than zero have a dimension
/> is Xhtml and may cause errors in html

for code problems where the solution doesnt jump out and bite you, plug the code into http://validator.w3.org/ and let it find the problems

Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved
