Using the W3C's (X)HTML validator, reveals that there are 6 validation errors for the "secplain" script, including a missing document-type. There are varying numbers of errors for other pages on the Mathtran web-site.

The errors can affect accessibility and cross-browser support, etc.

    I will be using this patch to fix these errors and more.

    Woops, this bug tracker doesn't support "hot-linking" - can I submit a HTML link?

    Yesterday I committed fixes to 5 files (cgi-bin/secplain.html, contact, download, faq, index.html).
    I also committed follow-up fixes to the heading-hierarchy, and to add meta-data to index.html

    These files now pass HTML validation, as XHTML 1.0 Strict.
