Hello Seona,
I haven't looked into the
far-to-the-right sub menu issue yet, but I can fix your validation problem.
Your DOCTYPE is incorrectly written:
Current:
<!DOCTYPE xhtml
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Needs to
be:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Notice the key word right after the !DOCTYPE
declaration - xhtml. It needs to be html.
HTH,
Martin E.

Subject: [WSG] Making my menus work across multiple
browsers
Hi guys,
Well, after lurking on here for
several weeks, I'm finally taking the plunge
and asking a question. (And
getting rather alliterative in my subject
line... Sorry...)
I have a
navigation bar with sub-menus based on the list structure and run
primarily
by CSS. The problem I am having is making it work in both IE and
any real
browser (using Mozilla for testing). If I get it to that the
submenus are
correctly positioned in Mozilla, then in IE they are floating
halfway
across the screen and impossible to select. If I get them
correctly
positioned in IE, then in Mozilla they sit over the main
navigation bar and
so are impossible to see, let alone select.
The
page can be viewed at:
http://d1075184.u42.b-20.net/
The CSS can be
viewed at:
http://d1075184.u42.b-20.net/clinics.css
Incidentally, I
have the CSS validating just fine (which I'm quite proud of,
given how new
I am to this *grin*) and I have the page itself almost
validating.
According to the W3C validator, there are only 3 problems left
and I can't
figure out how to fix them. If anyone wants to take the time to
have a look
at that and point me in the right direction, it would be
appreciated.
Funnily enough, the problems seem to be with the code
Dreamweaver put in
when I asked it to make a new file that was XHTML
compliant. *shrug* Go
figure.
Cheers,
Seona.
