Validation Problems, invalid character?

Post by shiznatix »

I am trying to get my companies front page to be at least mostly valid XHTML and whatnot but I am getting a strange error that I don't know how to handle. You can check it out at this link: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ne&group=0 but the error message basically says this:
Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 614 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "\x80" does not map to Unicode
I don't know why thats giving me that, when I copy the source and past it into the validator that way everything goes just peachy. Anyone know what this is all about?

just change the encoding to iso-8859-1:
Failed validation - 5 errors

Also, I would suggest using a transitional doctype. That will take care of at least your target error. See?
