Hmm that actually pointed out a couple things I missed. OK so *maybe* page validation isn't such a bad thing :-)

I did a bit more poking and figured out why the page wouldn't render when I selected 4.01 transitional... The css class for the status bars was being passed as an upper-case value, even though the actual css was defined in lower-case. Of course none of the validators would recognize that, but it was starting to bug me about why the page didn't render, so I had to dig into it.

So... the page completely validates now. Anything else? :-)

It has been tested in Firefox, but if there are problems, I will attempt to
fix it for other browsers. No I will not fix the page to work with IE6.

Someone actually looks for that stuff?
You mentioned Firefox, IE6, and "other browsers". Conforming to standards is
an excellent way to be sure that rendering problems are the browser's and not
the page code's. (Place blame where it is due.)

From the "Any Browser" campaign:

Well ok I fixed most of it,
Excellent!

I also had a lot of trouble with the doctype, as any of
the standard 4.01 entries completely remove all of my CSS coding.
Well, you mention CSS trouble:

Maybe that will uncover something and allow you to successfully use
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
