Css Problem
I did a CSS check and found many many errors. How would I ever go about correcting these.
This is the validator I used http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
1.Line 95, column 233: required attribute "ALT" not specified
..19" border="0" src="imgs/sitemap.gif">
It is showing the > tag after gif" is missing. Is there something I'm missing here? We don't have an image on this page. So what is the "imgs/sitemap.gif" referring to? We have many errors showing basically the same with the > tag missing. I don't know where to find the problem.
I know its a mess, we've got our work cut out!!!!

You need to learn how to read the validator!
It tells you what line of your code the problem is on, and quotes a few characters from that line. Use a text editor to find the problem by line, or use your knowledge of the page (i.e. that's clearly the image for the link to the sitemap!) to find it.
It tells you what the error is in the same line as the WHERE the error is -- it's not that there is a > missing! It's that you don't have the required alt attribute in the img tag...
