Please validate this html code

The W3C validator tells me there's an error with the closing body tag on line 16.
I don't see the error.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11//DTD/xhtml1.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">


<head>
	<title>		</title>
</head>



<body>

</body>



</html>

Thanks for the suggestion.
I've tried that but have not received the desired response.

Sorry, I'm not a html pro, but can program the pants off most people LOL

Go back and start simple...for now...REMOVE the <body> </body> tags and see what happens.

Sometimes syntax checkers don't always point you at the exact error...trust me

bleh add something tot the body for instance <p></p> then it validates fine. Basically there is nothing wrong with the code as is, its just complaining because you have an empty body tag

isn't that wtf I said?

Pretty much, but you can't just remove the tag, or just add text. For it to validate properly you have to wrap the text in a container element <p></p>. Don't ask me why because I haven't a clue, but thats what the dang site said.

Cool...I was close, but felt chastized anyways

Your generosity in this matter will not go unrewarded.
