NO WAY! NO WAY!!!!!!
I cannot believe I did not see that. I cannot believe I’ve been staring at this for a week straight trying everything! I did not see this listed on the W3C CSS validator but did see something about a bracket when I was looking through the debugger in Firebug (but did not see where it was coming from so I was perplexed about that).
I feel like an utter moron, just a simple typo. I thank you times a million and am giving you the biggest virtual hug ever.
None of these seem to be the issue though. My only markup errors are from the facebook like plugin (and it doesn’t fix my problem if i deactivate the plugin) and my css errors are css3 errors since not all properties are accepted across the board.
