 * I’ve tried to validate my site using w3.org for css and xhtml.. but either i’ve
   coded alot wrong or just missing something. Can any one point in me in the right
   direction?

 * Main problem is, you have XHTML 1.0 Strict as your doctype, while using tables
   with their style attributes. Here’s a tag reference for XHTML Strict that shows
   what’s allowed as tags and their attributes:

 * Anything else you want to set would have to be moved out to your stylesheet.

 * The validator provides a fair bit of information about what the issues are. Because
   you are using the XHTML Strict DocType, you will have to do a bit of research
   on what is allowed under that specification.
 * There are a number of references like this: `...the document type you are using
   does not support that attribute for this element. `
 * Have you validated using the XHTML Transitional doctype at all? If not, perhaps
   switch to transitional, fix any problems you might find there, and then switch
   back to strict and re-validate.
