Yeah, but Sunshine, you are aware that W3C encourages lowercase tags both in HTML and CSS?  Especially in XHTML, where uppercase tags aren't allowed.

Edit:  Sunshine, are you seriously suggesting him to use tables for layout?  You are not worthy of webdesign, get lost.  And I mean that.

Yes, I am very well aware of lowercase tags, I merely copy/pasted the example (I did not code that).

If you check out my website you will see that my xhtml and css validates, so up yours! 

But hey, go help the guy out, you won't let anyone else...so in that sense yea i'll get lost.

Just because your code is valid, doesn't mean you are using the tags correctly.  The parser can only check so much.  It does not know what is inside the data.  The parser does not understand English.

Tables are bad practise for making a layout.  Not only is it bad, it is wrong.  But the parser cannot detect if you used the tables for layout or tabular data.

To be a good webdesigner, you must learn the following things;

Understand your technologies, specifically; HTML, CSS and JS.
Understand their use and how you should not mix them.
Understand what each part of these technologies do, specifically in HTML, where tags are defined for specific purposes.  Understand these purposes and use them correctly.

Also, dt would probably help, because he knows not to use tables for layout.
