Scroll down, to where you first call your stylesheet: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://orchidsuites.net/orchid/styles/democratic-1.css"; /> <style type="text/css"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="ALL" /> <title>Welcome to our site!</title> Note, that you have pasted (I'm assuming), the DTD and some meta elements again into an area which you have defined as being a text/css area. Look at your code again, move your CSS to a separate CSS file - two CSS files even if you need to, see if it's possible to move the page towards either HTML 4.01 Strict, or to xHTML 1.0 Strict, remove the non-semantic tables, as far as your developmental time and budget will allow you, revalidate, and come back :-). Your page is extremely hard to read, for a relative newbie to CSS, like myself - while I could potentially solve your problem, the tag-soup prevents me from being able to see it.
