Please post your code, or preferably a link to the site.

Obviously the title doesn't make sense, so there must be something with your code.

Make sure your Doc type is XHTML - HTML 4.0 will bring back invalid w3c if you use tags like <br/> as HTML 4.0 is an older version of the HTML standard and uses <br> etc.
