Please Help! How do I make this XHTML 1.0 compatible?

[yinyang]

I would greatly appreciate any help for the following:

How do I code the below so it complies with XHTML 1.0?

1. First off, the CSS ... is the CSS below correct?

#navcontainer UL {
	PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 24px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; BORDER-BOTTOM: #5c7099 1px solid; LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none
}
#navcontainer LI {
	FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 2px 2px 0px; FONT: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif
}
#navcontainer A {
	BORDER-RIGHT: #5c7099 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; BORDER-TOP: #5c7099 1px solid; DISPLAY: block; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; FONT: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; BORDER-LEFT: #5c7099 1px solid; WIDTH: 90px; COLOR: #5c7099; PADDING-TOP: 4px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #5c7099 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #eee; TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
#navcontainer A:hover {
	COLOR: #000; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #9cf
}
#active A {
	BORDER-RIGHT: #5c7099 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #5c7099 1px solid; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT: #5c7099 1px solid; COLOR: #000; BORDER-BOTTOM: #fff 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
#active A:hover {
	COLOR: #5c7099; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff
}
#promo A {
	BORDER-RIGHT: #5c7099 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #5c7099 1px solid; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT: #5c7099 1px solid; COLOR: #5c7099; BORDER-BOTTOM: #5c7099 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fc6; TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}

2. Secondly, how do i make the below into a table that is XHTML 1.0 complianced?

<DIV id=navcontainer>
<UL>
  <LI><A href="index.php">Home</A> </LI>
  <LI id=active><A href="memberlist.php">Member List</A> </LI>
  <LI><A href="faq.php">FAQ</A> </LI>
  <LI><A href="calendar.php">Calendar</A> </LI>
  <LI><A href="">tbd</A> </LI>
</UL></DIV>

3. What is the code to make the "active" menu correct?

I am so stuck i want to smash my head against the monitor. :ermm:

for XHTML, you can use this validator: http://validator.w3.org
and this http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ for CSS.

There are also some threads in this forum that guides you how to code a XHTML valid page and the errors you may get.

the 3rd question. I don't get what you mean.
