For one thing, they're using tables everywhere. That's *so* 1990's. div's are the way of the future. I think we could come up with an XHTML/CSS combo that would do better, but using <div> in lieu of <table><tr><td> is flat out wrong. De gustibus non disputandi, but this is a proper use of a table, and not a generic block element... For another thing, the code isn't going to come anywhere NEAR passing a validation test. At one point there wasn't even an <html> tag!! ID: 72160 · |

Aiming at HTML 4.01 transitional (I know, I would rather do XHTML, but not my decision). You can send any patches you make (and please checkout the latest version from cvs /html/ instead of using "view source") to me and I'll have them online shortly thereafter. Originally the code wasn't written to validate at all, so this is a slow process. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. ID: 72176 · |

So, make the header transitional, and code the rest strict ... ID: 72217 · |

I'll lend a hand as soon as I can get my website going properly - CSS/3 and XHTML/1.1 are kicking my butt on a project, and I refuse to cheap-out and use a JavaScript solution... ID: 72231 · |
