Padding Error?

Dude!

Some errors that the validator states though are just confusing to me? It said I can’t put <style type="text/css"> in the position where I did, but I need that there to display the pages differently (On some pages I want the backgrounds to change). I’m just not sure whether it’d be worth it? Also with this code <h5><div id="authors"> I need it there to position the divs correctly. Though i suppose i could put the elements from h5 into authors. What does getting rid of the errors actually achieve? Cheers

What does getting rid of the errors actually achieve?

a blog that functions correctly?

like fyi, in FF the whole blog is aligned left, cutting off half the articles
the footer is so whacked it doesn’t even present halfway correctly
there are more problems
up to you whether you fix the errors or not

That’s how it’s appearing in all web browsers at the moment because I’m going around my site getting rid of some messy parts of code and redoing them to try and make it more browser friendly. So far it’s going quite well I’ve nearly managed to get the header working on IE 7, 8, Firefox, Safari, etc but below the header it’s all screwed up at the moment (i’m working from the top to the bottom). What’s the problem with the footer? Would getting rid of the errors make it work in multiple browsers then? Thanks

Also could you please tell me what version of firefox you’re using. My site displays perfectly as it does in Safari (What i code on) in both 3.0 and 3.5

I’m using FF 3.5.7
it looks a lot better now – centered and footer is aligned

Cool, thanks ?? I guess i’ll go start and get rid of the errors
