That loo<p> </p> ks like the solution to me.
I would also mention that if the op is going to use a hundred or so
lines of CSS, he shouldn't be mixing in code like this --
<center> <table border="10" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="70%">
<tbody><tr bgcolor="#ffff99"> <td>
-- nor like this --
<p> </p>
<p align="left"><b> </b></p>
-- all deprecated markup and spacer kludges that CSS is designed, in
part, to get out of your markup.
Don't declare a doc type unless you can validate to it.
The op shouldn't make the claim of Xhtml strict in the doctype
unless the code actually validates to that doc type. See here:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpewtas.googlepages.com%2Fdelphi
And the validator refuses to even look at the CSS until the XML is
validated.
Since the op is using firefox, I suggest that he download and install
the web developer extension for that browser. It will be a
big help.
