Why not validate it first? Google "CSS Validation", oh and validating the HTML would be a good idea too. "HTML Validation" should give you the links you need. I use the WDG HTML validator rather than the W3C one.
I already know the URLs for validation & that's what I used to do before, but then several people on another forum said that code doesn't have to be 100% validated in order to be great code.
I thought someone on here could review the code & tell me if it's good. Of course that person would have be an excellent coder themselves LOL
Admittedly, there is a lot more to good coding than just its validity. Also, there are reasons why you may use "invalid" code, e.g. to use the css3 "radius" attribute in an html4/css2 page. The major browsers generally support it (not IE8 or earlier) so why not use it? But that is not a good reason for not validating your code.
All invalid code puts you at the mercy of the error handling of the different browsers. They will, in some cases, handle the "error" consistently and beneficially (as above), but generally not. So validating the code is a necessary part of ensuring consistent behaviour on a range of browsers.
it will compress code and let you know which items are 'invalid', that doesn't mean they don't work, obv they will, but not in all browser, namely IE (bleh)

My thread seems to have been highjacked. I am NOT asking for tools, I'm asking for someone who is well versed in CSS & html to check this person's code.

the tool will fix any format redundancies and syntax issues. i'd do that before sending it for review.

Exactly, so can I post the URL here for you to look at?
I do not consider myself to be a web guru, for the simple reason that I am sure there is a lot more that I do not know about coding web pages than I do know.
My only purpose was to suggest that you validate your code before you ask for assistance. That's all.
no validation errors, a couple of warnings but nothing that really needs attention.
padding & margins could use better shorthand notation, but that's just a pet peeve of mine and compression would speed up the load time a bit, all in all it looks pretty good.
