As far as i'm aware that doesn't make any difference.

It hasn't helped that you have changed your Doctype declaration and not
really understood why, you have therefore left bits of XHTML in there that
are now causing problems.
Change your top 2 lines:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en">
as they are not compatable. I would suggest you go for a strict doctype,
such as:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
doing that and replacing the XHTML end tags " />" with HTML tags ">" will
sort all but three of the problems.
These are because your misusing the "a" tag, you can't have two "alt" 's
alt is for an alternative text if the pic doesn't display for whatever
reason. All your links should look like <a href="picture_path.jpg"><img
src="picture_name.jpg" alt="Alternative Text for Picture Here" width ="91"
height ="121"></a><p class="caption">Your_ Caption_Here</p></div>
Remember also to remove the spaces between " and 91" and " and 121
throughout your document, it will then validate.

Yes but you also have to change your CSS file, an id is prefixed with a #
a class is prefixed with a . and I notice that there are now no references
to id="mainimage" in your HTML file but that they are still in your CSS
file all you needed to do was change the repeated ID #'s for class .'s
.
