The errors are Line 20, Column 17: there is no attribute "background".
<body background="tan.jpg">✉
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Line 22, Column 3: start tag was here.

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

There is no attribute 'background' - That is exactly the problem ... there is no such atribute, you can replace that with some CSS:
Code: [ Select ]
body{
background-image:url('tan.jpg');
}
  1. body{
  2. background-image:url('tan.jpg');
  3. }


There is no attribute 'align' - Again, that is exactly the problem, you can replace that with CSS again:
Code: [ Select ]
h5{
text-align:center;
}
  1. h5{
  2. text-align:center;
  3. }


end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified. - basically it is saying that XHTML uses self closing tags, and img is one of those elements that use a self closing tag, so the code should just change to:
Code: [ Select ]
<img src="breakfst.jpg" usemap="#Menu" alt="Breakfast Menu" />
Note the last slash (/)

That should sort it out ...
Let's leave all our *plum* where it is and go live in the jungle ...
