my guess is that when it doesn't work, mozilla is in it's 'full standards' html rendering mode, which just means that it doesn't try to fix common mistakes by html writers, etc.
To find out whether a page is in full standards mode, click View->Page Info, and look at the Rendering Mode. Here is a good listing of which doctypes are in which mode: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/doctypes.html There are also a few good articles on DevEdge about the different modes: http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/almost-standards/ http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/img-table/ http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/ Dan Willemsen On Sat, 2003-10-11 at 15:58, Bruce Tennant wrote: > Using the HTMLMenu example, I ran through the different DTDs and here > is a summary of what I found. > > When IE fails, the top menu is displayed correctly, but the sub menus > collapse and go up rather than down. > > When Mozilla fails, the top menu collapses and makes it hard to see > what the sub menus do.
