Im running my source code (generated from the two scripts below)  the first script doesnt validate and I get the follwing message;

name character invalid: only delimiter ">", delimiter "[", "CDATA", "NDATA", "SDATA" and parameter separators are allowed

…ml1/DTD/xhtml1-<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" …

 

The second script is using the same doctype but validates fine.  Any ideas why?

 

first page (not validating) is http://www.1pw.co.uk/VALETING.php?title=TITLE GOES HERE&subtype=VALETING
