Just a quickie about validation, you've got an invalid doctype declaration:
<!DOCTYPE xhtml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> the "html" should be "html" just to make it easy here's the proper one: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> I tested it and it validates now. All your problems with validation were caused by the invalid doctype. If that's coming directly from Dreamweaver, you may want to edit the default templates and fix it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seona Bellamy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 10:48 AM Subject: [WSG] Making my menus work across multiple browsers > > Hi guys, > > Well, after lurking on here for several weeks, I'm finally taking the plunge > and asking a question.
