“Stray start tag footer” in html validator?

You need to move the </body> end tag at the very end, because a footer element must not appear after the body element but inside it. This follows from the syntax of the root element, the html element: it contains a head element and a body element, nothing more.

The validator says “Stray start tag footer” because the start tag appears in a context where no elements can be started – after the </body> tag, where only the optional </html> tag may appear.
