    When i try to validate my site‘s code I get the following error. I’ve tried to locate the error based on the lines cited by the validator, but I think the dynamic pages are making the line by line comparisons difficult. Any pointers or suggestions are welcome. In case you can’t tell, I don’t have too much experience with proper validation processes.

    Thanks

    As you can see, the problem on line 316 is at: More Different Decks, MTGO?¢a??a?¢s Own AKlein Goes To Worlds!

    And, the problem on line 319 is at: Disorderly Conduct, Mirage ?¢a??a€? A New Era for Magic Online

    Next time that happens, select “Show Source” and lie about your encoding (I chose “iso-8859-1” this time). You will see a ton of validation errors, which are probably miss-interpreted due to the encoding change, but you will at least get to see what the validator sees your source output as, and match the previously quoted lines to that result.
