We have seen where it does not work in Firefox when someone had their setting at: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//WC3//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">


I have tried using both the 4.0 code, and the 4.01 code. I can't get the menu to work in Firefox. I haven't tried any other browsers except IE7 and FF2. Bill R.

Try replacing:
-------------------------------------
<body>

<!-- New navigation bar insert -->

?
<script type='text/javascript'>
-------------------------------------

with

--------------------------------------
<body>

<!-- New navigation bar insert -->

<span id="themenu"></span>
<script type='text/javascript'>
--------------------------------------

You need to have a place for it to land in i think...

Might help.... Have fun

I copied your menu and installed in Html editor 2k7.
took off the ? that was there, and looked in fire fox and I could see the code.I don't know why , maybe you fixed with what they said, but it works for me.

Bill

I just visited your site and see you are using
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//WC3//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">



instead of:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

You said you have tried it. Can you try again and then post when you have uploaded it so we can see how it is working in fire fox? I have tested this several times myself and it always has worked in fire fox if I used the the
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

By the way are you using the html editor or Visual Site Designer? Just curious?

Not sure why it works this time, but it does. I changed one page to use:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">


and that worked.

Now to move on to other problems Bill R.
