A few things I noticed with your html.
Your doctype line has "xhtml" between DOCTYPE and PUBLIC instead of "html".
You are missing "xml:lang" and "lang" attributes from your opening html
element.
Here is a suggested correct example of these two lines.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
Also you have a percentage specified on this line for the width attribute:
<img src="Images/divider_h.gif" width="100%" height="3" alt="" />
Using a percent value for the "height" or "width" attribute with the "img"
element may result in inconsistent rendering, especially when the images
are in table cells. Note, however, that a percent value for these
attributes is valid in HTML 4/XHTML.

Please respond to [WSG] Making my menus work across
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] multiple browsers
group.org>
Hi guys,
Well, after lurking on here for several weeks, I'm finally taking the
plunge
and asking a question. (And getting rather alliterative in my subject
line... Sorry...)
I have a navigation bar with sub-menus based on the list structure and run
primarily by CSS. The problem I am having is making it work in both IE and
any real browser (using Mozilla for testing). If I get it to that the
submenus are correctly positioned in Mozilla, then in IE they are floating
halfway across the screen and impossible to select. If I get them correctly
positioned in IE, then in Mozilla they sit over the main navigation bar and
so are impossible to see, let alone select.
The page can be viewed at:
http://d1075184.u42.b-20.net/
The CSS can be viewed at:
http://d1075184.u42.b-20.net/clinics.css
Incidentally, I have the CSS validating just fine (which I'm quite proud
of,
given how new I am to this *grin*) and I have the page itself almost
validating. According to the W3C validator, there are only 3 problems left
and I can't figure out how to fix them. If anyone wants to take the time to
have a look at that and point me in the right direction, it would be
appreciated. Funnily enough, the problems seem to be with the code
Dreamweaver put in when I asked it to make a new file that was XHTML
compliant. *shrug* Go figure.
Cheers,
Seona.
