Check out this site I've been working on for my web design class. The project was to create a site using 100% CSS positioning with the basic HTML content provided by CSS Zen Garden (http://ww.csszengarden.com). The css has been validated and it displays perfectly in Firefox, Safari, and Opera on my Mac. I don't have access to a PC, so if any of you out there running a PC have problems viewing the site, please let me know. Thanks alot! I'll also post a picture of the site just so you know what its supposed to look like so you can compare.

Nice design Rich. I like it a lot! As far as your structure, it renders well in Firefox on Win2K. I don't have any crits for the graphic design, it's beautiful! As far as crits for the XHTML/CSS, I did notice that you use a lot of div tags. You don't really need to "div" the "Participation", "Benefits", "Requirements", and a few other sections, when it seems ideally they would just be <p> blocks. But overall, good job. And I love your disclaimer in the source! This line says it all: "better off than if this had been built with tables". :)

Thanks for the comments! Glad to hear it worked fine for you. In regards to the excess <div> tags, I know what your talking about but thats something I can't change. The point of the project was to for everyone in the class to use the exact same HTML and to control everything using our own CSS. So all those excess <div> tags were provided just in case we need to use them. We can't remove them or add anymore. But thanx again for the comments.
