What does that mean? Where it has said #### encoding problem on this line, not shown #### I have used a similar concept as my navigation.
Navigation:
¦ Home ¦ Mr Tom ¦ Site Related ¦ Reviews ¦ Animations ¦ Forums ¦ Games ¦ Links ¦
Footer:
¦ Back ¦ © 2004 - 2005 ¦ Version # ¦ # Online ¦ Email Me ¦ Top Of Page ¦
However, the footer does not show, and there is a problem. Why?
Here is the HTML for the footer.
<div id="spacer">
</div><div id="navigation">
¦ Back ¦ © 2004 - 2005 ¦ Version 7 ¦ 3 Online ¦ Email Me ¦ Top Of Page ¦
</div></div>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
For more info on this, and using character references, see:

There are some other problems with your code: an id is a unique element - use a class for multiple elements; you're using xhtml syntax on your html page (no need for " />" on tags in html); there is no "background" attribute for the div tag; and you're not closing the <html> tag.
HTH
Those tips were really helpful, thanks.
I'll get back to you when I put them into play.
(I did close my HTML tags, I just cut it off by accident when I copied and pasted it, and never realized.)
That isn't the problem. This is:
<meta name="description" content="####" />
You must not include a / inside a <meta>, <link>, <img>, <hr>, <br>, and any other "single" tag if you are using HTML 4.01.
They are only needed if you are using XHTML code.
I'll do that.
