Thanks for getting back to me John.
I did not mean to bother you.
I did try to validate my css and noticed the errors but did not know
how to handle so I decided that I would try to do so later.
The menu that I am trying to use is one that I adapted from one that
appeared in a book (DHTML Utopia). It stated that the menu would
degrade gracefully in the case that javascript was disabled.
What is it that attracts you to such a thing for your site? Why
do people particularly need to see the dropdown details. They
work badly even with 'javascript on' on my machine, slow and
clunky and somehow only intermittently?)
If users are interested in looking further, they will. You can
interest them in what you do outside of menu items on the page
itself. By using describing the various things they can go to,
you can provide links in context.
Why all the convoluted mark up and css for such a basically
regular and straightforward site? Have you not enough to do
making cakes? Forget about relative positioning and z-indexing
and sliding this or that, leave behind all that stuff about text
popping up and obscuring other boxes with text, with menus
growing em style and bursting all over the whole design (have you
seen what happens when you alt shift + or alt + or whatever you
do in Windows to enlarge text in FF (on a Mac it is command +)?
I think you better contact Farmer Joe here in Australia. He
thinks website making is like baking cakes and he would not be
pleased if you were to try to bake a simple cake in some overly
complicated way.
