I doubt anyone cares, but I am sooo proud of myself. My site now has completely valid HTML and CSS!!! 6 pages and 4 Stylesheets. This is a first for me and a real accomplishment.
Actually there are a lot of sites without valid HTML or CSS so this makes me even prouder(probably not a word).
Well.... that was it.... just had to let everyone possible know that I have accomplished this amazing goal.
P.S.
If you for some reason don't believe me or want to see for yourself, you can use the first link in my sig to see it(there is supposed to be a link to quickly validate the current page or stylesheet, but the server is slow so it might not show up yet. You can still validate the stuff manually).

Why do both your "valid HTML" and "vaild CSS" button-links in your webpage go to the CSS validator results page and none goto the HTML validator results page?

Your validation buttons overlap your scroll div in firefox.

Oopps. Yes they both do goto the CSS validator. I just fixed that. Dunno how long it will take for the server to update the script.
About Firefox. I have been meaning to get to that script. IE and FF use completely different size measurements. So I need to complete the script that will resize everything to fit the browser. Sorry bout that to all you FF users.

This may sound kinda stupid, but is their an official JS validator? Honestly, or to me, valid JS is a script that does what you want, with no errors. but of course not every script works in all browsers. So I wonder if there is a validator out to check scripts.

I don't think there is an "official" javascript validator anywhere, but good job on moving to CSS on the your site. Your color scheme option is pretty neat.
Regarding size in Firefox, the problem you're having is probably related to the box model problem in internet explorer. IE does not treat the size of objects the same way specified in the W3C recommendations. I'll lazy so I'll let you do a google search if you want to know more.

Congratyoulooshoes! :D
Your first fully valid page is an important first step to make. One of the reasons I hate Javascript so much is because of it's lack of standardisation. There are standards (ECMAScript), but these are often ignored, interpreted, partially implemented and otherwise made very unreliable. Javascript and regular expressions are my two most hated aspects of web development. My reason for hating both is the same, they're both pathetically unreliable. I swear, there must be more differing implementations of Javascript interpreters than there are copies of browsers installed on the worlds PC's.

Prouder (http://www.answers.com/prouder&r=67) is indeed a word.
adj., proud·er, proud·est.

IMO, standards = bare minimum...it's like, you start at the bottom of a lake, write a valid page, and you're on a raft. 'Course, with good enough content, or functionality, your site can breathe, too, but think of much better it'd be if it was just standardized and usable...

Yay! I just made Holiday Google (http://www.google.abrahamjoffe.com.au/) and Holiday Google Image Search (http://www.google.abrahamjoffe.com.au/images.php) validate!
But the bizarre thing is that I didn't close the <HTML> tag, is that not mandatory?

WTF is the point in HTML, HEAD or BODY then?

As a reference when using DOM methods and adding CSS to affect the "BODY" elements.

Hmm. <form action="http://www.google.com/custom" method="get" id="search">
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="annevankesteren.nl">
<input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="annevankesteren.nl">
<input type="text" name="q">
<input type="submit" value="Find">
</form> I don't agree with that...how is a screenreader supposed to know it's a search box? At least a hidden legend, or something...
