Does anyone know why this would happen? Firebug didn't show any errors either. I'm a little confused as to why the uri would fail, but the direct input validates without ANY problems.

What's confusing is that it states:
QUOTE
Validation Output: 1 Error
  1. Line 44, Column 9: ID "navigation" already defined.<div id="navigation"> ✉

    An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).
  2. Line 43, Column 9: ID "navigation" first defined here.<div id="navigation">


But line 43 doesn't even contain that, it's an h2 tag. I've searched the entir code and only found 1 instance of id="navigation"

you should use a <div class="navigation">, because you're using it more than once.
A class looks like this in your css:

CODE
.navigation {
alignment and stuff
}

You do have <div id="navigation"> written twice, one right under the under.

I couldn't see it in my code and the search couldn't find it in Dreamweaver... until I checked the page source online. I'd accidently duplicated the div on my include page - which would explain why the direct input was okay! Live and learn, I suppose.

I feel stupid again. Thanks for the help.
