Bingo! Being a stickler for the standards only works AFTER your product has become the de facto standard. Personally, I LIKE Mozilla much better than Netscape or IE, which is much of the REASON I'm being so critical of it in this newsgroup. If it doesn't work for a good chunk of the websites I visit, I simply can't justify using it, even if I prefer it otherwise! FWIW, the webmaster of DVDAficionado replied to me and seemed very interested in making the site compliant with the HTML standard. But he also said that they only support NS4.x and IE5.x, and have no intention of going out of their way to make the site work on the more obscure web browsers like Mozilla (or even Netscape 6). Still, the problem with DVDAficionado _appears_ to be with Mozilla's rendering of the JavaScript menu, NOT the web page itself, so even if the web master fixes every noncompliant tag on the page, I don't think it'll make it work correctly in Mozilla. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
