validating xhtml to wc3 standards

[dm27]

Hi all i have a problem when trying to validate my xhtml code. I have one error which continues to
priciest no matter what i do. The xhtml code is:


<ul class="disc">
<li>Assistance in planning and designing of ventilation systems.</li>
<li>On-site surveying to ensure optimum designs.</li>
<li>Full installation of ventilation equipment.</li>
<li>Maintenance of systems.</li>
<li>Ability to fully integrate control equipment into any electronic building management systems.</li>
<li>Full technical assistance and consultancy available from our experienced engineers.</li>
</ul>

the code produces bullet points on the site. The validator comes up with the error:

Line 85, Column 18: document type does not allow element "ul" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.
<ul class="disc">The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>")


for the life of me i cant work it out. can anyone shine some light on it for me.

I haven't tested this but if you follow advice from here: Common XHTML Validation Issues - Textbook International

which basically asks you to indent the whole block of code with a single whitespace at the start of each line, it should be ok.

Is it possible you put the <ul> in a <p> tag, or some other container, or didn't close the previous container?

If you could post a link to the page in question we can check and see what we find.

Thanks to the both of you for replaying but neither of you suggestions worked you can view the page at http://www.danielmcmullan.co.uk/ecs/index.html

You have enclosed the <UL> within the <H1> tag. Close the <H1> tag after the 'ecs-working-for-you.jpg' image.
