I know I have validation errors, but my site seems to work fine…
As you described above – it doesn’t work.
And we don’t dig into your code until there are validation issues. Take a closer look at the very last error!

I don’t mind searching through the code, but as a newbie I’m having problems figuring out the equivalent line and column in the code based on the information provided in the CSS Validator. Since this is a WP template theme, the code is taken from multiple php files. While I have been able to find some of the errors, I seem to have trouble finding this one in Dreamweaver. Do you have any suggestions on another way of finding the location that the css validator is referring to? Thanks for the help.
I still have quite a bit to learn about how validation works, but I definitely plan on correcting the issues. I didn’t mean to come across as thinking the errors were unimportant.
ON the validation page click the Show Source box and Revalidate. Every error line # will become a link that takes you to the exact location of that error. Hope this helps…

Thanks. I think part of my problem was that I was looking at the wrong type of validation (Stylesheet instead Markup). The explanations for Markup help alot. It will probably take me some time, but I’ll keep you posted on my progress. I appreciate the help.

I was able to take care of the validation :), but I still have the footer issue. I also noticed another issue that just occurred (in Netscape only). The margins for my blog posts are different in Netscape from those in Opera, IE, or Firefox.
Viewed in FF I don’t see any kind of footer anywhere. Not even in the source code – are you sure it is there?
As for the netscape thing… welcome to the mad world of browsers 🙂

Since most people use IE or FF, I’m ok with the netscape looking a little different.
I don’t know if this helps in terms of the footer:
style.css:
#contentcontainer p.footertext {
text-align: right;
font-size: .9em;
}
index.php:
<?php if(!is_single()) { ?><p class=”footertext”><?php comments_popup_link(‘0 comments.’, ‘1 comment.’, ‘% comments.’ ); ?></p><? } else { ?><p class=”footertext”><?php comments_number(__(‘0 comments.’), __(‘1 comment.’), __(‘% comments.’)); ?></p><?php } ?>
</div></div>
<div class=”blogafter”></div>
…….
<?php get_footer(); ?>
footer.php
</div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>init();</script>
</body>
</html>
Thanks.
The footertext stuff in your stylesheet refers to the lower part of your posts! So, we’ll ignore it.
In the index you have the call for the footer:
<?php get_footer(); ?>
But I don’t see anything in the footer.php file that should be displayed. (Have no idea what that js does…)
So, honestly, I just don’t get what the “footer issue” in your title means.

I took out what I had in the footer b/c it was showing up in the top right part of my blog, just above my sidebar, but below the header.
