Franco,

Yes.

You have three paragraphs on the page. The first paragraph contains an
unordered list. Both of these are block-level elements, but HTML does
not permit one block-level element to contain another. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1. When the validator
sees the <ul>, it terminates the open paragraph (since the end tag is
optional), then processes the list, then finds an unexpected </p>, thus
generating the error message.

If you move the </p> which terminates the first paragraph AHEAD OF the
<ul> the problem will go away.

It is easy to do this if you are adding </p> tags to an old page on
which all <p> tags were implicitly terminated.

By the way, your THIRD paragraph does not have any </p>.

Chris Beall

A paragraph cannot contain a list. Since the closing tag of the
paragraph is optional, the presence of the list automatically closes the
paragraph. As a result, when the validator gets to the </p>, it causes
an error.

Solution: Either put the </p> before the list, or remove it altogether.

BTW: You should be using HTML 4.01, not 4.0. And you should use a DTD
that triggers "Standards" mode in most browsers.
