Line 57, Column5: error parsing attribute name
Line 57, Column 5: attributes construct error
Line 57, Column 5: Couldn't find end of Start Tag div line 56

Line 69, Column 11: Opening and ending tag mismatch: html line 4 and body 
Line 70: Extra content at the end of the document

                    </ul>

                </div><!-- end menu -->

              <div id="content">

           <div id="footer">

If anyone can help solve these errors, it would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Bolded lines are where the errors are found

Start with fixing your tag here:

<div class="text"
  <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus sed eros quis leo sollicitudin tempus.  </p>

Need to close the tag so it should read: (missing the ">")

<div class="text">

Rerun it then and let us know results.

looks like this is the cause of most of your problems:

<div class="text"
                    <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus sed eros quis leo sollicitudin tempus.  </p>

should probably be:

<div class="text">
    <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus sed eros quis leo sollicitudin tempus.  </p>
</div><!--this is already there, just the tabbing is off so it looked like it was missing-->

fix that, and re-run it. let us know what errors are left.
