I'm getting this error:

Please, validate your XML document first!
Line 129
Column 64
An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xa0) was found in the element content of the document.

Document is validated xhtml strict.

Line 129, Column 64 = 'o' within the word "Sorry".

What gives?

Have you tried iso-8859-1 as your charset? Are you currently using UTF-8?

Did you cut and paste the copy into the body of the document? From say, Word?

Much obliged waldemar.

DIGITALHOST: Nooo no no, let's leave Word out of this shall we ;) I did copy & paste it from an older HTML doc - Will try and type it in directly, just in case, good point.

DTD is;

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Just a quick note to resolve this thread, I retyped the offending paragraph and all is now well so thanks digitalhost ;�)

I've learned the hard way to save every source file as a .txt file first. Then I close and re-open the .txt file in a pure text editor before I do the copy/paste into my pages.

Some of the odd characters are almost impossible to see and change by eye. And some software insists on creating the odd character.

A0 is a non-breaking space (also known in SGML as  ). They are a bit sneaky since they often look exactly the same as a regular space.
