You are right that I could have gone further than I did. I didn't intend for it to be a rude response and if it came across that way I apologise. Of course, one way of guiding me in how to better respond to queries would have been to provide the links yourself :-) For the original poster, here are links to to the w3c HTML and CSS validators: <http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.biom.net%2Findex.php%2Fdojo%2Findex%2F > <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator> Have a look through each error. If it's not clear to you what you need to do to resolve it, post back to the list. The errors that are most likely to be causing you rendering problems are mismatched opening and closing tags. However, I would just recommend working your way through this list and fixing everything. That way you know you are on a solid markup foundation. The use of the XHTML strict doctype is why presentational attributes l like align=center are errors (and the fact that the value isn't quoted). You either need to remove these attributes and use CSS or use a transitional doctype instead. The form elements need to be surrounded by a block level element. You could add a fieldset and legend or else wrap them in a div. The CSS seems to be valid when directly input, however, when I use the web developer toolbar <http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/>) and go - tools > validate CSS there does appear to be something strange going on with the response. Also, it looks like you are including the stylesheet twice using link and import: <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='all' href='http://www.biom.net/index.php?css=dojo/css_dojo.v.1243052883' /> <style type='text/css' media='screen'>@import "http://www.biom.net/index.php?css=dojo/css_dojo.v.1243052883 ";</style> I hope this helps.
