pageoneresults,
Thanks! Does leaving out the language declaration affect older browsers like NN4.x?

Does leaving out the language declaration affect older browsers like NN4.x?
Not that I'm aware of. I test regularly with NN4.78 and have not seen any issues with my javascript. I don't utilize any hard core javascript so I cannot accurately answer that question.
In regards to the above error with margins, if you are using css, here is the solution. Strip everything you can from that <body> tag. I usually just end up with my onload event in the <body>.
body {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
I don't know where i went wrong on this one. please help again

1) It looks like you may be using the wrong quote character - Try editing your page with a simple text editor like NotePad and make sure you are not using special left double quote and right double quote symbols. It could also be a declared-versus-actual character set problem. Compare to this sample:
<meta name="Description" content="The finest in fuzzy blue widgets for all occasions.">
2) Very often, a single problem or error will cause a cascade of error reports. That is what is happening here. Don't worry about the number of problems, just look for the first possible cause of the problem.

Another error that I see quite regularly, but not here, is the use of an XHTML-style closing slash "/" inside tags, being incorrectly used in an HTML document, especially on META tags, like:
<head>
<meta name="Description" content=" Your Description Here. " />
<meta name="...
This has the unfortunate effect that the first slash "/" encountered after <head> is interpreted as </head><body> so giving errors for the rest of the meta tags within the head section, as they are now seen to be within the <body> section. Further errors are then given for the real </head> and <body> tags, as these are now flagged as being duplicates.
You can test this by taking a validated HTML 4.01 web page, adding the extra / on an early META tag in the list, then revalidating the page using the service at [validator.w3.org...] , noting the new error list, as well as inspecting the Parse Tree with the now misplaced and additional tags.

An other issue is with the characters. I get the following, "Found an invalid entity "•". Characters between 128 and 159 (inclusive) are reserved for control characters in the standard Internet character sets" Could I replace it with <b><li></b>?

I don't think that code would be valid. A list item is an HTML element that makes sense only within the context of a list (i.e. ul or ol), and you wouldn't boldface it any more than a margin or horizontal rule.
For 4th generation and newer browsers, • should work for a bullet or · for a small bullet ("middle dot"). You could also use an image.
@benwalsh: buttonType is not a valid attribute for <span>.

Second, you must end the character code with a ;
