Well I've done the research and made the jump into the world of web standards. I had the opportunity of building a new site at the same time I was studying the ins and outs of web standards. So, here are the results...

The only problem I have not been able to fix is related to floats and IE5/Mac. For some reason I guess IE5/Mac doesn't like float: right; that doesn't have a width defined. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
The other thing that is currently keeping some of the pages from passing xhtml validation is my use of a div name more than once on a page. Oops. I'll have to fix that later, but that's an easy one.
Anyway, feel free to take a look and give me any pointers or plain old feedback.

Nice n' clean... seems good.
For your validation problem, you are probably using the same id name for more than one element. Whilst a browser will let this pass, the validator won't. If you need to use an id more than once, then it then needs to become a class (which can be used as many times as you like).
As for IE Mac problems, I'm not the hottest at cracking Mac IE (even though I have it, I sorta deny it's existence... which is very bad of me! :roll: )... Here's some decent resources:
