When I started working with tableless web design this year (I know, I had been living in my closet) I looked for not only tutorials and tips how to do this. I also search the web for corporate websites that had launched XHTML + CSS sites. Sites that worked and was used by thousands or millions of people. It was quite hard to find I must say. It is not that easy to search for it anyway. Well, I have now gotten a nice collection of site that do use XHTML + CSS. Some are tableless and some uses tables but at a minimum. I have also used this list for making people, mostly business people to understand it’s time to upgrade. It is always better to show what you can do than talk about it. Well, here is the list. If you have any more, please send a comment.
Update: I add new ones on the top whenever I found a new one.
Update 2: A note about the validation, I know that this is not really interesting nowadays. It just gives a clue about how well mangaged the site is. The result will of course change from day to day on a busy site, the validation has been done on the frontpage of a site with the HTML Validator extension for Firefox.
