Thanks for the tip!

True. I'll fix them and see. Although I believe these errors are all
specific to the home page, and this issue exists on all pages (and in
another similar design I'm working on now).

I think that it does not validate as Strict, but it's been a while and
I don't remember for sure.

Depends on your monitor... On larger monitors this table causes the
entire page to center vertically as well as horizontally. I like that
effect enough to use a table to get it.

That's how I'm doing it, but it's not working as I want on Firefox.
Could it have to do with display:table? Without that Firefox does not
wrap the div around the content, so I had to add it (and a second inner
wrapper div). But perhaps I need to declare a border-collapse or other
property for this div when it's defined that way?

It's funny, but everyone else says the same thing to me and wonders why
I'm obsessing over something that looks different but fine. I've lived
with it this way for a while now, but now that I'm doing a new design
with the same problem I want to figure it out once and for all. Call me
obsessive (it's true).
Thanks for your comments, btw.
