You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

To Dreamweaver 8 Using
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
Could there be a problem there. I really dont know anything about it. Thanks for your help.
By default Dreamweaver 8 is set to create new pages as XHTML. I suspect there is no reason for you to make the switch to XHTML, so I would strongly recommend you stick with your previously used HTML 4.01 doctype.
Go into DW Preferences -> New Document -> Default Document Type (DTD) and set it to HTML 4.01 Transitional
I'd recommend you learn more about HTML syntax (DW code view is your friend ;)) so that you can debug any validation messages yourself, but if you do have further problems with validation, post the errors here - I'm sure someone will be able to help you.
