Hi Christy IE7 may now be able to handle a xml prolog before the doctype but if any other comment appears before the doctype, this will put IE7 in quirksmode [1] [2]. On every other page apart from the homepage is this comment <!-- MAIN INDEX TEMPLATE --> and because of this any :hover rules will not work. I guess you may be pulling your hair out now. Also when IE6 and IE7 are in quirksmode there is a difference in the box model [3]. Enough said. The dropdown doesn't work in IE6 on any page and looking at the source, I can not even workout which bit of javascript you are using for IE6 to mimic the :hover. I presume that you have .over in your stylesheet for this purpose. Is there any javascript matching? You have way to many validations errors [4] which begin with this line of code (note that the paragraph is not closed). <p>?<br /> <h2>Mount Assisi Academy Service Award</h2> After text resizing in any browser, the menu starts to get hidden under the "Mount Assisi" emblem. Even without font resizing, the menu item "Parent" is partially hidden in Firefox. There is just to many links in the menu and which creates usability and accessibility issues for the site. I don't have a Mac so I can not answer your other query. I hope this helps.
