It's telling me i've left out the closing tag for my meta details yeh?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
	
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Five Ways Media Studies</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url("layout.css");
@import url("text.css");
</style>
</head>

I don't think that's wrong is it? I havn't left the tag open?

It probably threw you because you would have got away with that with an HTML doctype. You have used an XHTML doctype so you must close all tags to validate.
