Two or three errors left you say ? Well I've used a validator software just to try. Unfortunately my Internet connection is rather slow today but I was able to see the results. Your 90 pages contain 6149 errors, I repeat, sixthousand, onehundred and fourtynine errors.

To note that most errors are repeats, such as, for instance:

- Invalid characters found in the 'href' attribute's value. Consider putting the value within quotes (all your a href's are without quotes)
or
- There must be a <!DOCTYPE> tag at the top of the page (if 'auto-detecting' then a best-fit <!DOCTYPE> will be used):

or where you have <TABLE BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#9999cc" BORDERCOLORDARK="blue" BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="5"> the error is:
- 'bordercolorlight' attribute is not valid for this tag. This happens to all your tables.

other errors include not closing tags for <CENTER> and the such.

Then we have link errors, such as on your first page, the link to iwanet (NOT FOUND)
ecc, ecc, ecc.

So you see, it is easy to accumulate 6149 errors because you have not used the right tools to build a 90-page site. Elementary errors like the above would not be possible if you had a good html processor or at least a sufficient knowledge of html.

If you want I can send you separately some pages of the report (not all the 90) so you can have an idea of the problem.
But I should suggest you get some good tools before venturing in a 90-page project.

Regards
Valeria
