Try the http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ on random GRASS
website etc. pages. Nope, doesn't pass the validator. E.g.,
tutorial's ex_basic.html ex_complex.html ...

You may recheck the new PHP pages and find that something
in
<table class="topmenu" bgcolor="#008000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
border="0" width="150">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><!-- SEARCH MENU -->
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr bgcolor="#cc5e2ca">
<td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">
<font size="-1">
<form method="post" action="http://grass.itc.it/cgi-bin/htsearch">
<input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig">
<input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="grass">
<input type="hidden" name="exclude" value="">
<input type="text" size="8" name="words" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
<center>
<a href="searchgrass.php">Advanced search</a>
</center>
</form>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table><!-- END TOP MENU -->
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table> <!-- END menu frame -->
is wrong. If you find it, all php pages will become valid.
Sound to be an interesting job?

Fix welcome, it's related to the "search box". No
idea how to fix it (validate doesn't tell me).

tidy gives a lot of warnings, but no errors.

Markus, try changing the alt attribute of the grass logo to just GRASS, or an
empty string. Does that help?

I tried, but it doesn't...
Actually I don't understand the problem listed here:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgrass.itc.it%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&do
ctype=Inline&ss=1#line-68
but I am not HTML expert.

Ok, try to delete the <font> around the <form>. Also, the error on line 196
(opening <h4> then closing </h3>) triggers several of the following bugs.
Errors 2 to 9 have (I think) the same origin: <font>. In these, try to change
the <p>'s to <br>'s, or remove the <font> around them.
Have you tried to use CSS for the home page?

I did that, validated again (no change), then re-inserted the font tag.

Right, thanks for finding the bugs.
Now there is only a single error type:
- document type does not allow element "FORM" here; missing one of "APPLET",
"OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME" start-tag.
- document type does not allow element "CENTER" here; missing one of "APPLET",
"OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag.
- document type does not allow element "P" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT",
"MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag.
> Have you tried to use CSS for the home page?
Yes, CSS is used (maybe not at it's best). But the removing FONT tag doesn't
have any positive effect.
Maybe we have to live with the remaining errors.

"They don't even have a valid HTML homepage"!
Well then dump your fancy page producing system and instead use
http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ and write your homepage by hand like I do
on http://jidanni.org/index_en.html which you can use as a template.
