Why is my site displaying differently In Firefox than in Safari?

I manage a website called ShareDen.com (http://shareden.com/home) and it looks the right way in Mozilla Firefox and it's totally completely discombobulated in Safari. I Haven't tested it in other broswer's (still in process) however my guess is it looks horrible in IE 8.

Could it be because I just added the CSS Sticky Footer to my site? This wasn't happening before. Please help!

Thank you in advanced!

Start fixing those errors and retry. I suspect that it has to do with those lot of misnested tags which made Safari mad. The w3 errors points them out.

By the way, a Content-Type of application/xhtml+xml is not recommendable. Use text/html. It's after all just HTML.

Only Internet Explorer 7 and older doesn't support application/xhtml+xml. Every other browser I know supports it just fine.

@iconiK it's not that application/xhtml+xml isn't supported, it's that it assumes perfect xhtml which that page is clearly not using.

Besides, *in my humble opinion*, XHTML is overhyped. True, it's extremely helpful and useful when using it as a templating technlology for server side component based (MVC) frameworks (or anything else which ends up to get parsed by a XML tool which produces (X)HTML for the web), but everytime when one attempts to write or drag'n'drop all that XHTML together her/himself in plain text, a kitten dies.

Thanks everyone, I'll begin revising the sites code and fixing errors as I move along...

@iconiK - IE8 does not support application/xhtml+xml either. @BalusC - anything HTML can do, XHTML can do better.

XHTML is indeed better when you want to use a XML tool to parse/generate/validate/whatever HTML. But for the remnant it offers no advantages. Webbrowsers can take both as good.
