W3C CSS validator doesn't like me at all
I've just run my site through the W3C CSS validator and I'm getting an error telling me I need to validate my XML document?

So, how do I validate my XML document, and where do I put the
</link> tag it tells me I need?

I fear this is just the start of my problems here's the validator link: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...&usermedium=all

like...i think it means you have to close the link tag in index.php

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.student-consolidation-loans.co.uk/styles.css" type="text/css" />

i think you can validate your xml document at here

Yep, I would worry about validating your HTML first I am sure closing the <meta /> tags and the <link /> as master_b suggested already would get rid of most of those errors.

Why are you using a Frameset DTD?

Ahh thanks for the info guys.

I'll be honest. I don't know anything about the !DOCTYPE tag and know very little about XHTML in general.

I recently switched over from hand coding to using Dreamweaver's coding window (speeds up writiing code ten fold). When I create a new PHP page Dreamweaver automatically throws in all this information at the top of the page and I've never questioned it. I realised that if I remove the !DOCTYPE and any reference to XHTML and run the page through the CSS validator it works fine.

Sooo, does anyone know of a good resource that explains !DOCTYPE and its relevance?

That should keep you going for a while
