I checked at the W3C html validator, and there were only a few errors
- not bad for over 1000 lines of code. There does seem to be some
problem with divisions - one is not allowed at a certain point and
there results a mismatch in opening and closing divisions and another
problem or two. I am unable to check over your over 1000+ lines of
code due to lack of time. However I suggest that you find the source
of this problem and correct it first. Mismatched divisions sometimes
can cause some very strange problems.
