Validation problem

Hello I have a problem with the validation of my homepage: www.marres.nl

due to the listmenu.



The functioning of this menu is good in all browsers, although it dont't
look exactly as wanted in Netscape and Foxilla.



This is the HTLM code:



<span id="nav" class="nav">

</span> <ul>

<li class="selected"><span id="nav" class="nav"><span class="center"><a
href="index.htm">Home</a></span></span>

</li></ul>

<ul>

<li><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li>

</ul>

<!/li> <ul>

<li class="anders"><span class="center"><a
href="lakenindustrie.htm">Lakenindustrie</a></span></li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li><a href="schadelijst.htm">Schadelijst anno 1408</a></li>

<li><a href="lakenindustrie.htm">Lakenindustrie</a></li>

<li><a href="charter.htm">Charter</a></li>

</ul>



W3C Markup Validation output gives one error



Line 203, Column 20 repeated seven more times for seven same faults)



Document type does not allow element "LI" here

<li class="selected"> <div class="center"><a href="index.htm">Home
</a></div>





cleaned up markup processed through HTML Tidy sugested:



<span id="nav" class="nav">

<li class="selected"> <div class="center"><a href="index.htm">Home
</a></div>

<ul>

<li> <a href="index.htm">
Home </a> </li>

</ul>

</li>

<li class="anders"> <span class="center"><a
href="lakenindustrie.htm">Lakenindustrie </a> </span>

<ul>

<li> <a href="schadelijst.htm">
Schadelijst anno 1408 </a> </li>

<li> <a href="lakenindustrie.htm">
Lakenindustrie </a> </li>

<li> <a href="charter.htm">
Charter </a> </li>

</ul>

</li>



But with these suggestion the menu doesn't work. see:
www.marres.nl/menu.htm



I would be grateful as anybody has an advise.

Try putting the list inside of the div.

btw Google analytics is supposed to be placed just before </body> not
in the head section.

This is the HTLM code:

You posted the URL so there was no reason to include all that code.

The error is that you omitted the <ul></ul> around the whole list. It
starts with an <li> instead, which is invalid.

No it doesn't.

It doesn't validate
when I just checked there was still 1 validation error

and in Opera it probably doesn't look the way you want it.

Even when it validates (which it doesn't right now)
there is still something I'd like you to look at.

You have 5 images on your homepage that are obviously links
but I don't know where they will bring me, should I want to click them.
A little text that says where the link leads to, would not be a bad idea.

Also, not all the other pages have a link back to the Home-page.
