Anything between style or script tags should be HTML commented > 4. align is not a valid css property > 5. // is not a valid CSS commenting style, must use /* */ but i like //!!! :) > 6. Other misc cleanups/fixes, see diff > 7. Finally, lets do our part and be XHTML 1.1 compliant :) much of a muchness really. as above - had to disable the doctype. > Let me know if you disagree with anything and I'll attempt to justify > it or you just might convince me :).
