Error in HTML Validation

[Jimuniguy]

Hi,

I am not sure what to do about this, the following is my code:

<span id=&quot;Info&quot; style=&quot;position:relative; left:-20px; height: 100px; top:0px; z-index:2&quot;>
<ol>
<li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;>For more information e-mail Me@me.com</li>
<li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;>Page maintained by <a href=&quot;mailto:Tech@support.me&quot;>Myself</a> </li>
</ol>
</span>

Now HTML 4.01 validation says the following:

Error: element "OL" not allowed here; possible cause is an inline element containing a block-level element

Any suggestions on how to get around it?

Cheers

James

change your SPAN for a DIV and that should sort it out.

This is exactly the case that illustrates my answer to "Difference between SPAN and DIV tags" thread.
You have used <span> instead of block-level element. It doesn't make any visual difference, but it's against the rules.
