No, not really. :-(
You are using XHTML 1.0 Transitional. New pages should be Strict,
though, as you aren't transitioning from anything. However, it doesn't
matter which doctype is used, there are still many, many errors.
I would recommend that your new documents be HTML 4.01 Strict.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
XHTML requires all tags to be in lower-case, but it is good policy (at
least I think so) to use lower-case all the time.
One of the first things I noticed was a <style> block in the <body>
instead of on the <head>. Browsers would be free to ignore it if they so
chose. It should also start with:
<style type="text/css">
<P><B>30/01/07: </B> should be: <p><strong>30/01/07: </strong>
<I>Travel Representative</I> -> <em>Travel Representative</em>
There is text not in any container; the following should be in a <p>:
"Meet the team of BRICK India '07! ..."
...and so on. You have a large conglomeration of 1999 code mixed with
1995 code. It would be difficult to list everything here in a post.
How are you writing this? Some Microsoft product?
