I have a Web page at:
<snip>
If you visit it, you will notice a strange < opening bracket to the left of the rotating banner ads at the top.
I can't seem to get rid of it!
The relevant code is:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%Session.LCID = 2057%>
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.6 [en-gb]C-CCK-MCD NetscapeOnline.co.uk (Win98; I) [Netscape]">
<script>
var speed = 3000
var Pic = new Array()
Pic[0] = 'banner1.jpg' var t var preLoad = new Array() function runSlideShow(){ </script> </head> <body text="#F0FFFF" bgcolor="#191970" link="#F0FFFF" onload="runSlideShow()"> <center><Table border=0 Cellspacing=0 Cellpadding=0> Any help much appreciated!

Pic= 'banner2.jpg'
Pic[2] = 'banner3.jpg'
var j = 0
var p = Pic.length
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preLoad = new Image()
preLoad.src = Pic
}
document.images.SlideShow.src = preLoad[j].src
j = j + 1
if (j > (p-1)) j=0
t = setTimeout('runSlideShow()', speed)
}

And btw welcome to WW, and we're not supposed to post urls and/or code, check out the welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com] thread.
<edit> martinibuster, not even code in fact. To be completely compliant, we would have to redirect him to the code validation page [validator.w3.org]</edit>

You might also consider reading the thread on Posting Code [webmasterworld.com] to get still more of an idea of the general ethos around here.
If the terms and rules and so on seem restrictive, give it a chance - the benefits are fantastic. This is basically a flame-free board with tremendous expertise and discussions that often drift back and forth from specific to high-level issues. These characteristics are due in large part (directly or indirectly) to the basic MO of the board. A perfect example is the response that you got after "breaking" the rules by posting a url. Instead of flames, people said: "Welcome! By the way, that's not allowed. But since you didn't know that, here's your answer."
Awesome group of people around here.
