I recently got a .Mac account and I am trying to set up my home page. I select "Advanced" because I want to use my own HTML created page. I navigate my iDisk drive to my "Sites" folder and select my proper HTML file. It recognizes that it is an HTML file and continues with the process. I click continue and it spits out this error message:

HomePage found the following issues with the HTML page you chose. Please fix these issues and try again: The "<BODY ... >" tag is missing.
Now I know how to code up an HTML page and I definitely have my Body tags in the right place. Has anyone else encountered this issue before and might have a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to have full control of my homepage. I'd rather not use one of the templates that they offer. Thanks in advance!

Have you by any chance saved the file in an odd format (maybe UTF-16 or even RTF by accident)?

No, I'm pretty sure I haven't I just tried again and made sure. I even used different text editors; Textedit, Textmate, and BBedit. Thanks!
