    Messy coding problem

    Hi im trying to fix up my fathers website but want it to look exactly the same as it does now. The code is a mess and even though the site works fine this means of course that it is not xhtml compliant. I want the two rows of links to look exactly the same but with clean coding... is that possible!? The site is at www.opr.com.au and this is the code:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>

 <!-- logo table here--><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="logoback">
    <!--DWLayoutTable-->
    <tr>
      <td width="50%" height="80" valign="top"><img src="images/logos/opr_logo.jpg" width="421" height="80" /></td>
      <td width="32" valign="top"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell-->&nbsp;</td>

    You have some embedded tables in there that you probably don't need. Have you considered using lists instead? listamatic has about 50 different ways that you can control a list to make it horizontal etc. That might be better
