As above, I have tag in my HTML code, but when I open the page in the web browser, I get an unknown symbol "Â", before the "©" symbol.
Is there any way to fix the glitch ?
edit:
All the HTML content is coming from a third party server, hence, editing the content will not be possible. Management of everything using CSS, or CSS over rides, is necessary.

You can use one of the following three methods

Safari links in unordered list are broken

http://www.ifma.org/professional-development/career-center
If you visit this link with Safari (I think OS X only), the links don't work in the middle section. These type of styled links:
View featured job openings »
Receive personal job alerts »
Search for jobs by keyword, location and industry »
Access career coaching resources »
When you use any kind of bold property or html tags it makes the link not functional. You can't click it and it just seems as though it's text.
In the following source code, if you take away the <strong> tag it works. You can't use <b> tags or font-weight properties either.

XHTML Validation

I am running my XHTML file through W3C validation and an error is coming up. However, I am unable to understand the error - it says, "No p element in scope but a p end tag seen".
Can some with fresh eyes see it?
Here is my code:
<div id="mainBody">
<div id="text">
<p>
<img src="images/billyGraham.png" alt="Billy Graham">
<blockquote>
Billy Graham:<br><br>
Is it not arrogance or narrow-mindedness to claim that there is only one way of salvation or that the way we follow is the right way? I think not. After all, do we fault a pilot for being narrow-minded when he follows the instrument panel [while] landing in a rainstorm? No, we want him to remain narrowly focused!
</blockquote>
</p>
</div>
</div>
A blockquote element can't be inside a P element. It's invalid HTML. Although if you've tested in your target browsers and there's no issues I wouldn't worry too much, validation is just a guideline and shouldn't be taken too literally (IMO)

Microdata for creativeWork

Hello I am a web design student, looking to add micro data onto my website in order to keep up with the trends (doing a major over haul), however I am having no luck with it, for instance I have the itemscore for web pages on the body, however what is for "URL" as the "isBasedOnUrl" description makes it seam like you don't use that for the main navigation and cant I cant see another alternative, also what would this code be like in a schema, i really jsut cant wrap my head around it just yet, Thanks for any help this is much appreciated.
<body>
<img src="logo">
<div id="nav">
Home
</div>
<div id="maincont">
<p>Some "about" text</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>copyright at name</p>
</div>
</body>
You’ll want to use http://schema.org/WebPage, a more specific CreativeWork.
This schema doesn’t define a property for the site/page navigation (apart from breadcrumbs). And why should it in the first place? Simply use HTML5’s nav element. But if you need to set some properties about the navigation, you can use http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement: "A navigation element of the page."
For isBasedOnUrl, did you read the description? "A resource that was used in the creation of this resource."

Is use of HTML 5 section id="contacts" semantically correct in place of div id="contacts"?

Is use section id="contacts" semantically correct in place of div id="contacts"?
On a webpage I need to add a multiple Contacts info of the company. Generally I use div id="contacts But if I want to use HTML 5 tag as much as possible is it appropriate to use section id="contacts" in this case.
Or no benefit to use Section element here.
For example to wrap multiple address like this
<p>
<b>Address 1:</b><br>
9900 Corporate Campus Dr., Suite 3000<br>
Louisville, KY 40223 <br>
<b>Phone:</b> (502) 657-6033<br>
<b>Fax: </b>(425) 936-7329<br>
</p>
<p>
<b>Address 2:</b><br>
9900 Corporate Campus Dr., Suite 3000<br>
Louisville, KY 40223 <br>
<b>Phone:</b> (502) 657-6033<br>
<b>Fax: </b>(425) 936-7329<br>
The address element must not be used
to represent arbitrary addresses (e.g.
postal addresses), unless those
addresses are in fact the relevant
contact information.
So in your case—if I understand correctly this is the company's website—you should use <address>.
In HTML5, using a <div> versus using a <section> is all based on the content it will contain. If the content is contextually relevant to the page, you would use a <section>. However, if the only reason you are encapsulating information within the tag is to apply style via CSS and nothing more, you would use a <div>.
Don't get confused here; You can still apply style to a <section>.
EDIT: It seems that there is some confusion about <section> vs <div>.
Note: The section element is not a generic container element. When an
element is needed for styling purposes or as a convenience for
scripting, authors are encouraged to use the div element instead. A
general rule is that the section element is appropriate only if the
element's contents would be listed explicitly in the document's
outline.
Source: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-section-element.html#the-section-element
In your case, you're providing contextually relevant information, so you would use a <section> tag. However, as #Knu pointed out, if the address is relevant contact information, you would actually wrap the address in the <address> tag.
You might do something like this:
<section id="contact">
<p>For more information, contact us at one of the following addresses:</p>
<address>
<p>9900 Corporate Campus Dr., Suite 3000<br/>Louisville, KY 40223<br/><strong>Phone:</strong> (502) 657-6033<br/><strong>Fax: </strong>(425) 936-7329</p>
</address>
<address>
<p>9910 Corporate Campus Dr., Suite 5000<br/>Louisville, KY 40223<br/><strong>Phone:</strong> (502) 657-6035<br/><strong>Fax: </strong>(425) 936-7339</p>
</address>
</section>
A single example of using a <div> instead of a <section> might be if the content was a container for many <section>'s.
<div id="something">
<section id="one">
<p>This is some content.</p>
</section>
<section id="two">
<p>This is some other content.</p>
</section>
</div>
You can use the section to wrap multiple address only if you have a heading like "Contact Information" or something like that. If you don't have a (natural)heading, then a generic block-level element(div) must be used.
Also, each address can be wrapped inside an address tag. (I'm not too sure about it though as I feel address is meant only for marking up email addresses)
PS: I see that you have wrongly used b here. It should be span instead. Also, an address is not a paragraph. So, p shouldn't be used as well.
For that matter I would recommend you to take a look at microdata at schema.org. You can add specific semantic tags for every part of the address, your company and everything else.
This is a specific example and tutorial on how to us microdata:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/html5/Web-Developer-Tutorial-HTML5-Microdata-3920016.htm#fbid=7JjItyF1dhi
This ones are the vocabulary you'll probably need:
http://schema.org/Organization
http://schema.org/PostalAddress
I agree with #knu and would recommend using multiple address elements as these are not arbitrary addresses.
I would also use the vcard format.
