Dreamweaver version 6 drop down menu problem in Firefox

Can someone please help me with this problem? Firefox can’t have activeX running and my website is based on activeX. The menu bar doesn’t work at all in FireFox or other web browsers at all other than explorer. How can I make my website compatible across to all different web browsers?

Many thanks,

Nick

HI,

Can you edit your post and put the code inside [ code ] [ / code ] tags. (without the spaces).

have you got the page online? if you can post a link, it will make it easier for me to see what it looks like and to help get you a x-browser solution.

ooops! I will try again

[bazz]

Well if you must.

The reason why I asked you firstly, to put up your code was so I could see it. However, it is I think, unnecessarily verbose and if I were to see the page online somewhere, I could try to put together a simpler menu solution.

try to validate it first:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fchayy013.cloud.prohosting.com%2F

one problem I see is that attributes value must be quoted.

Can I ask you what is wrong with this code?

for(var i=0; i<bar.length; i++)

In the validation website, it said:
Line 21, Column 30: character ";" not allowed in attribute specification list.
for(var i=0; i<bar.length; i++) {

Nick.

I can't find any fault but it still says I have 64 errors. I can't see for myself.

the validator guess that is html there, :)
you must hide javascript using comments:


<script type="text/javascript">
//<!--
....your js code here...
//-->
</script>

usualy the number of reported error is grater then real because some of them trigger more error/warning messages.
always start from the top, first reported -> first fixed.

Oops silly me! Now I have another problem. How can I use CSS to ignore case when I am in a strict XHTML?

Many thanks!!!!!

do you mean upper case in tags and attributes names?
this have nothing to do with css, you must change them not ignore.

<div id="Bar1" class="Bar" menu="menu1" cmd="aboutUs.htm">

I didn’t write the above code but could like to ask you that in the div tag, I know menu and cmd are not the valid attributes but why people put them there. I need these attributes for my pull down menu. How can I go about this? :(

Hi I am not the only one to have this problem. Please look at this website http://bytes.com/forum/thread90799.html

can solve this only if you use another menu or modify this. I suggest you first method because I think you can find easy on the net something to fit your need.
