a lack of compatibility of W3C with .php
No, It's your markup that it has the problem with, when php is run on your browser, you just view the underlying HTML, so does the W3C.

Your errors are easily fixed: but this one just made me laugh:

Code:
<style type="text/css"> 
in your overall id, ?? - Use your wordpress stylesheet to add more css not in your body

quick look at your site ...

Code:
<ul id="widget">
  <div class="dark">
  	<li id="pages" class="widget widget_pages">
if just plain crazy ... ul -> li -> most things you want ...
nothing allowed inside the ul that isn't an li first

Code:
&copy
should be ending in a ;


your welcome to nuDesignz has a h2 that never gets closed ...

image has align="absbottom" ... this is proprietary

you've got empty <p>'s

you've got all sorts of elements where they shouldn't be ... (in between <tr>'s you've got divs and more)

and so on ...
mostly easy enough to fix up ... good luck with it ...

I'm not sure what ye are on about with the style bit ... maybe you resolved it already ?

Well i'm down to the last 8 errors, but to be perfectly honest i don't see how the code being returned as invalid is a problem.

If anyone could explain it i'd appreciate it very much.

OUCH!!!

different browsers will see it differently ... you'll have less control than normal on the way it looks .. in some instances it could crash someones browser ...

it'll confuse search engines ...

and most importantly it'll confuse me

Default Class and ID selectors

Your using class and ID selectors together for objects. You can't / shouldn't do this (if anything its not neccessary).

ID = Used for 1 item on a page only
Class = Can be used many times

Validation ensures users will get the best experience from your site but doesn't actually mean you created your website properly. Its possible to validate a page with a mess of table layout markup.

It is the practice of using the correct markup for the right elements on your page that is important.

I'd recommend reading up on Jeffrey Zeldman's book and possibly reading CSS by Eric Meyer.

It will help you to understand things a bit better. I've found that the NET is a mess with CSS hacks and misunderstood principles that just confuse.

er ...you can use both together I don't see anything wrong with it (that said I've not looked specifically at what he's doing in this instance)

(unless of course I'm going crazy .. which of course could be the case as well)
