Dear Ada --
I do not know enough programming to understand what the errors listed by
CSS Validator mean?; thus, I am afraid I cannot correct them?I do
understand, though, that these are errors of syntax in both the
horizontal and the vertical navigation spry. Would correcting these
errors of syntax solve the problems I have at
http://138.26.120.126/CAMAC/Trial19.html ? (Copied them again below this
message).
I cloned your site into my copy of Dreamweaver and removed the two
lines at the first line number indicated by the validator as being
erroneous in each file : in both cases the removed lines contained :
filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
I am not familiar with the syntax of the "filter" property,
so I cannot comment on what exactly might be wrong with
these lines, but removing them is sufficient for the page
to validate so would be a good starting point for yourself.
The cloned site is at :

Best wishes :
Philip Taylor
I, too, am unfamiliar with this construct, but found a discussion at
<http://css.flepstudio.org/en/css3/opacity-transparency.html>. The
following is excerpted from that web site:
The css3 property opacity allows to change the transparency of an element.
The property opacity needs a value in between 0.0 (equal to 100%
transparency) and 1.0 (no transparency).
Example for a css transparency of 60%:
opacity: 0.6;
opacity is not supported by Internet Explorer for which we can use
the property 'alpha filter' implemented by the Microsoft. This
property 'alpha filter' needs a value in between 0 (completely
transparent) and 100 (no transparency).
Example of the 'alpha filter' for a transparency of 60%:
filter: alpha(opacity=60); /*for Internet Explorer 6/7*/
filter: "alpha(opacity=60)"; /*for Internet Explorer 8*/
NB: Internet Explorer 8 requires a Doctype in Strict mode to work
Note that the construct uses opacity=60, not opacity:0.6.
