http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftravel.state.gov%2Ftravel%2Frequirements%2Frequirements_1233.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Using a branch Seamonkey and am Opera 9.24 the site doesn't look fine, so I used w3c validator.

Of course site doesn't validate as there are things like missing 'alt' attributes, but there are also more serious errors, and some MS specifics.

value of attribute "ID" must be a single token:
<input id="search input" ...
<a id="imgCongressionial Liaison">

Line 202, Column 213: document type does not allow element "BR" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag.
Line 202, Column 408: document type does not allow element "BR" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag.

</li><br><li> the <br> is invalid according to validator.w3.org

Duplicate of bug 384616, this is a tech evangelism issue, as the site in question use some user agent detection to link to different urls for the stylesheets they are using. But for Mozilla they forgot to upload something.
