I can't get my menu bar to remain relative to the westar logo.
On the homepage it looks ok http://www.westar.com/test/index.asp
, but once the main content table on the page gets longer the menu bar
shifts downward. Like on http://199.217.163.45/intranet/WDT_logos.asp
I don't know why the menu seems to care how long the content section is
when it should stay relative to the westar logo. I thought I indicated
that in my css file, but since I don't know css well at all I guess I
did not.
The top menu bar was is a "Page Include" on all my pages and uses its
own style sheet as well as the web content pages have their own style
sheet they reference as well. 8  1609

Some things to sort out before you start worrying about the menu
placement issue:
a) Using a doctype that triggers standards mode is generally preferable.
b) Serving XHTML is almost always better avoided, HTML 4.01 is
preferred.
c) Validating your code can be a helpful tool: http://validator.w3.org/
and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ Currently your HTML makes no
sense (multiple head's content before the <html> element etc.).
d) Tables are for marking up tabular data. Your code is a peculiar hodge
podge of tables used for layout with styled div wrappers.
e) &nbps; should not be used to create margins and/or padding. A string
of joined 's is silly.
f) Inline CSS should generally be avoided.
g) Div's and spans are "last resort" markup to be used (almost) only if
there is no semantic element to attach styling to, they cannot replace
semantic markup. (for example your footer should be marked up as a
paragraph)

I disagree with this point. I have NEVER had any problems with XHTML, which
don't also exist in HTML. Just make sure the img and similar tags are closed
using the <tagname options /> method rather than <tagname

That may be caused by your ignorance on what to look for?

There it is; one of the basic dumbness'es built into the X scheme from

It has kept the crowd fooled since it first appeared.

That last part of yours has the decency to it that it constitutes fully
balanced markup.
So far you have proved nil knowledge about NET/NESTC/TAGC

'I wonder what that means' meant nothing more here than that I see a
