I have done XHTML validaty several times and it is perfect.  Now when I do a CSS check, it does not work and say:

Target: http://www.ajaxswimming.ca/index.php

Please, validate your XML document first!

Line 337

Column 83

Element type "td" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

Apparently, your code does some user agent sniffing, and returns different pages to different user agents. 

When requesting the page with User-Agent: Jigsaw/2.2.0 W3C_CSS_Validator_JFouffa/2.0 (the identifier of the CSS validator), The page I get has the following markup at line 337

<td style="background:url(/templates/Default/images/mtdbgbot.gif)"class="slink" align="right"> 

Note the lack of space between " and class.

Conclusion: avoid user agent sniffing as much as possible. It wasted your time (and mine). :)
