What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open any page of the administration panel

2. Copy and paste the link to http://validator.w3.org/check# or use Your browsers feature if it has one :)
3. Examine the output What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect "This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!" like in the django auto- admin. Instead I get "This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!" /admin/default/index - Failed validation, 3 Errors /admin/default/site - Failed validation, 11 Errors /admin/default/about/welcome - Failed validation, 8 Errors /admin/default/edit/welcome/ABOUT - Failed validation, 6 Errors /admin/default/design/welcome - Failed validation, 33 Errors /admin/default/errors/welcome (with no reports on the list) - Failed validation, 18 Errors I stopped checking at this point. In my opinion the whole administration interface should be valid. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? web2py Version 1.37 (2008-06-26 16:15:09) on Microsoft Windows Vista running in Opera 9.51

This needs to be fixed. WOuld you be able to help and submit a patch? Probably most of the errors originate from welcome/views/layout.html and examples/views/layout.html.
