Not entirely outside the scope of css-d though, as the choice of DTD definitely affects how CSS is working. W3C has this list... <http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html> ...to choose from. Browsers reaction is listed here... <http://gutfeldt.ch/matthias/articles/doctypeswitch/table.html> My suggestion is: if in doubt, go for... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Strict //EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> ...and make the markup conform to that DTD. > 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.

Maybe some will change their mind if they can see the products? Suggestion: use those 'conditional comments' to serve reworked 8-bit transparent png (or gif) to IE6 (and older), and the proper 32-bit image to the others. Something like... <!--[if lte IE 6]><img src="simple_8-bit.png" alt="" /><![endif]--><!--[if !lte IE 6]><!--><img src="proper_32-bit.png" alt="" /><!--><![endif]--> ...will do. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
