  Old  XHTML Validation problems

document:
http://www.aicko.net/v3/

validation page (w/ info): http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...doctype=Inline

I've tried and tried, but I just can't get all those errors left fixed. I had a bit of time fixing 54 errors while converting from HTML to XHTML, but I couldn't lower them more than that.

Plus, it looks weird in IE and totally different from how it acts in FF.

I'd be very glad if you'd help me somehow.

Dont use tables = all those errors gone.

Use div's, (http://dev.fyicenter.com/faq/xhtml/x...n_elements.php)

Also, using div's, you could submit that site to CSS galleries and get much more traffic. That design deserves more than tables. There are several great coders here on TFL which you could hire, including Garrett, Indy, Blue Ire, me, and more. Good luck!

line 42 column 1 - Warning: <table> proprietary attribute "height"
line 68 column 2 - Warning: <table> proprietary attribute "height"
line 80 column 38 - Warning: <img> lacks "alt" attribute

line 109 column 147 - Warning: unescaped & which should be written as &amp;
line 37 column 1 - Warning: missing <tr>
line 96 column 79 - Warning: missing <tr>

Fix them errors first. The rest seem to be caused by the use of tables, which can be solved using divs

Most of your problems are with the tables, just put tr's before td's thats about the hardest problem you have.

I'd suggest using divs as well. By the way, you could use CSS more efficiently. The way you're using it was the way it was done like 5 years ago. There's no way you could submit the site to a CSS gallery in it's current form.

Even though you shouldn't really be using tables in the example you have given us, you can make the tables valid, but you need to assign each different table either an ID or a class and then use CSS to add the height, width, etc. I would reccomend you start coding from scratch though, because I don't see why you insist on making the document valid when the semantics are all over the place.

The cross-browser problems you are experiancing are also probably to do with the use of tables.
