Hi Can anyone translate this passage into plain English for me please?


Line 121, Column 105: element "O" undefined
...,&quot;serif&quot;;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span><b><span style="font...

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. 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 "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
• by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
• by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

Regards
Felix

    The "o" prefix indicates the Microsoft Office namespace; you'll see it if you copy and paste in content generated from an Office application (e.g. Outlook, Word), or use an Office application to export HTML. The namespace prefix is part of XML and in theory should be harmless in XHTML, but might produce unexpected effects in HTML.
    Many applications, including Javascript WYSIWYG packages, offer an option called "Paste from Word" or "Clean up Office HTML" or something similar which can reduce some of the strange code. The problem is with Microsoft's output; Dreamweaver is no better than Notepad++ or Bluefish for cleaning it up.

    I would have to agree with pmrc, it looks as though you cut and pasted from a formatted document. I often have the same problem when I c/p from word docs to wordpress. It is such a pain.

    Perhaps you could supply a url for us to check out as well, or more info should you want some more help. Cheers!
