You don't get it pixie NO browser is standards compliant, not a single one! It has been said by persons smarter than I that full standards compliance isn't even possible because some parts of the standards are poorly written and leave parts open to interpretation by the person reading them. I personally wish html and css would die and be replaced by an actual language. Sure would make my life easier.

Ok then, but some are more then others, and one has a special or had had in the past, standard all by himself

Interesting...
Anyway, thanks Ben, menus are working OK on IE now.

By the way I'm pretty sure that IE 8 is more standards compliant than firefox.

This is plain bulls***
Even MS themselfes said IE8 will be even LESS standards compliant than IE7... and you all know how that will end...

[handsomedave]

Wrong. Microsoft said IE 8 would break lots of sites that were created to display correctly with IE 7.
IE 8 is way more compliant than IE 7 and thats why sites break under IE 8 because the page sees internet explorer and implements hacks that are no longer nessesary for IE 8.

I hate html and css.

Thats why I no longer do web dev except for my daughters web site.

In a blog post last week, Microsoft technical manager Nick MacKechnie said IE8, unlike its predecessors, would favor widely used Internet standards -- and not Microsoft protocols -- as its default settings. "Browsing with this default setting may cause content written for previous versions of Internet Explorer to display differently than intended," MacKechnie said.

Cool thing, thank you

"Strive to design for standards, not browsers," Gartner said. "Don't depend on any one client-side technology. Focus instead on validated user interaction patterns," the researchers added.

Your welcome.

I must say I do have great respect for the poor souls who are doing web dev. With so many different browsers out there, each with their little quirks, it can become quite the nightmare just getting a single element to look alike between browsers.

Oh and pixie I do agree with you IE did have a standard all its own at one time.

Check this for some comparison tests

Hey Ben, the menu on the front page is still not working with IE. Could you fix that too, please.
