Quirks mode?
Interesting.
Maybe.
The code validates at w3c validator without errors.
Each page begins with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Robopages...</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dirLCSS.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
....etc
You're using an incomplete doctype. to avoid quirks mode use a complete
doctype like
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
When you validate a page or site it is against the doctype you specified so
it's not surprising that it is valid to the incomplete doctype.
There is nothing wrong with the doctype you used. But it caused the IE
browsers to revert to IE 5.x behavior which was the source of your problem in
the original post.
Have a great weekend
