[lug] OT: HTML Question (Don't know where else to turn.)

[D. Stimits]

The switchover to Comcast from AT&T is leaving me with the inability to 
receive messages for an hour or so at a time, several times a day, so I 
apologize if I don't have the most recent info here.

The css has to validate, and the xhtml, if you want to expect any part 
of it to work right...if it doesn't validate, then it depends on the 
interpreter of the xhtml as to whether it'll display right, even if it 
is supported and non-buggy in the browser. The w3c validator says the 
xhtml is good, but the css is not:

You're obviously one of the rare people who actually tries to make valid 
code, but you missed something. It appears that you are using 
underscores in css class names, which is not valid. Use a hyphen 
instead. I found that when I fixed this, it altered the 
appearance...whether it is what you want or not I don't know.
