I'm taking a glance at your page errors and will give you a few points to help you get stuff sorted out./
Line 48 <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://auslegs.com.au/about/index.cfm#line-48>, column 112/: there is no attribute "height" (explain... <http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html#attr-undef>)

table's height are defined by the total height of it's columns. columns have a height property, tables do not.

All images have to have an alt attribute in xhtml. It's pretty easy to forget to include alt's if you're not always thinking about it. i do it all the time :)

you didn't close the img tag properly. In XHTML, img tags have to be written up as <img src="url" alt="alt text" /> .. if you add a space and slash to the end of your img tags, these errors will go away. same goes for the <hr> tag you used; needs to be <hr />

that's just a run-on mumbo jumbo for "you forgot to put a semicolon after the ©" |//|| HTH bud

Hi Michael,
First problem is that the page isn't valid.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://auslegs.com.au/about/index.cfm
Second, the CSS isn't valid.
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://auslegs.com.au/style s/auslegs.css&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all
I suggest sorting those issues out first as this will eliminate some of the problems and make troubleshooting easier for others. A doctype is very important as it affects how browsers render the page.
Regards,
Peter

I tried using the classic CSS menu from the Uberlink CSS Rollovers: Overview article I picked up on this list. I managed to copy the code and style sheet from that tutorial, and now I want to see how it will work on a site I'm working on. It's a two-level menu setup though, so I want to have the minor level have different style.
I've managed to get two levels in the menu ok, but for some reason the first item in the sub-level has all the characteristics of the top level. Can anyone see what I've got wrong in the code?
The page is at http://auslegs.com.au/about/index.cfm
And the style sheet concerned is at http://auslegs.com.au/styles/auslegs.css
The first sub-menu item should be "classic turned timber lounge legs" - the first item under the "Products" category.
The structure of the menu on the page is:
<ul> <li>Top level item</li> <li>Top level item</li> <li>Top level item <ul> <li>Second level item</li> <li>Second level item</li> <li>Second level item</li> </ul> </li> <li>Top level item</li> <ul>
Is anything wrong with this structure? It works fine on another site I have.

p.s. I know it looks horrible right now. I want to get this to work then I'll do some pretty graphics for the menus to suit the site.
