    When i looked at your source from the website it has a little box at the end of the page. I guess that is the illegal character the w3c is compaining about.

    What are you using to see that? It doesn't show for me in IE (notepad) or Mozilla.

    It's probably a 10 or 13, but any chance you could find out what character is it?

    I'm using a text editor called PSPad to view the source. If you look at in notepad then there is a space after the ending
    Code:
    </html>
    If you take the space out from there it should validate as it should delete this box character.
    This is the character i can see: □

    There's a \0 null charactor at the end of </html>. You'll be able to clearly see it with Notepad++ or some other advanced text editor. Delete it and the page will validate fine.
