there only 14 errors and 6 are them are things it dont know like the shadow property and a couiple of O instead of 0 miss types. yes its large as its a template and used for all the pages of the site, the site runs perfect there only this one error i found so far and still this dont fix it. IE5 & 6 suck arse. i might just remove the link and its all fine and just add the link else where.

well...this is one error i found in your css ... and it's quite dangerous

 

.imglink    {    margin: 5px 0;
           border: 0;
       }
       }

 

 

Anyway the link was looking so in ie 5 and ie6 because of this

*html a        {    display:block;
       }
