I wonder why you try to validate the seperated view part (body) - that makes
no sense to me and can't work. For validating a page you need to
check the whole sourcecode including html, head, body parts. How
can you validate a page where no doctype is set or the essential
tags are missing?

I am using XHTML 1.0 strict i validated my site from a chrome browser plug in it says valid page.

If your "complete" page is valid then everything should be fine!

btw. if you don't post the error messages nobody here can say what's
going wrong. If you want someone to check your page we need the
complete sourcecode (a link to your page would be the best) as
it is rendered in your browser.

Besides what Lucky said, validation is a tool, not a obligation: http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/general...-validate/

Anyways that solves my problem thanks
