Can someone point out what I'm missing? Thanks!
Hi Stan,
I am not claiming any great expertise here, as much as anything because
when I went through this exercise a few months back I quickly discovered
that with CSS you couldn't really calculate what was going to happen,
you just had to try it out in as many browsers as possible, and attempt
to fix the broken bits (FF for me was the best starting point). It is
coding by trial and error - which means basically doing experiments.
And in any case I have now forgotten most of what I learnt.
So I have only quickly skimmed your CSS. I noticed that the body style
has some padding which will cascade down to other objects. Since older
version of IE had the box model inside out, you may be seeing some
effects of that. You might want to try zeroing that out, and if the
menu works identity the elements that need to have the padding zeroed.

Thanks for the thought, David. I guess my article of 29 July never
reached your site. As I reported, I solved the problem by a divide-
and-conquer strategy. The working code is now at http://www.tc3.edu/instruct/sbrown/stat5808b/
In Lynx, the menus show as nested lists, which seems to be a graceful
degradation.

Um nope. I guess the news server here doesn't get to see everything.
This might not be all bad!
Was that you who made the useful suggestions about spelling on my site?

If you are not just sounding off because you think it makes you sound
good, and you really do have a problem with min-font size, upgrade to
FF3. The font sizes are fine there.

No, they are not fine in FF3; they are too small for me to read.
If I set a minimum font size in FF, the page is too wide to fit on
my screen.
Using 'font-size: 62.5%' is one of the problems.
Both can be solved with a sensible stylesheet.
