In all fairness to Bill, I'm going through the html and trying to  
find and fix the errors, uploading it and checking it on the  
validator. I really am a newbie and out of my depth. I am trying to  
determine which doctype to use -- not sure what works where, etc --  
but that's not for a CSS list...

I apologize for not knowing enough to have this all worked out before  
posting. I was rushing around to try to get it out and I didn't even  
think of valiation.

I'm so uncertain of how to get this type of CSS to work on these  
menus, that this is the only way I have it working. Will it break it  
anywhere if I use the div id twice?

True and I'm learning.

Is it redirecting Opera?

Do you have Opera set to ID as MSIE or is it being redirected? The  
redirect is only for IE up through version 6.

I tried to look at what would be required to get png transparency to  
work and I have no idea of how to work around roll over issues. I  
don't want to be offensive to IE users either. But, our products are  
all OS X, so the largest group on our site really are Safari users.  
And I guess there's also the principal of the matter that MS have  
purposefully made IE use proprietary code to try to muscle out  
competition. So, it's a hard decision for me to make. I don't know  
how to fix the issues in IE and IE users are unlikely to buy our  
products anyway.

Thanks for the help.

I hope you guys will look at my site again after I get my html sorted  
out.
