Hy,
i have a problem with my site ( http://testinfo.gotdns.com ) ..if I put the <!DOCTYPE declaration in it, when i open the site in Fire Fox, my drop-down menu ( under "Informatii" button ) doesn't work, and in Iexplorer and Opera works..... can you help me please....
Thanks
Iulian

Your syntax appears to be slightly off:

document.getElementById('info'.style.visibility = 'visible';

that means that I should replace "onmouseover" statements?
I don't understand could you please explain?
thanks

It displays correctly in the browsers; but you have the following syntax coded incorrectly, as shown in the bolded area:

<li><a onMouseOver="info.style.visibility='hidden'" href="">Pagina principala</a></li>
<li><a onMouseOver="info.style.visibility='visible'" href="">Informatii</a></li>
<li><a onMouseOver="info.style.visibility='hidden'" href="">Promotii</a></li>

Change the "hidden" to "visible"...

the way i've coded it now......works but it doesn't validate as XHTML document....
does it matter???

Thanks

If you changed the code, it doesn't appear on your site.

If it doesn't validate, you'll have to change your <!DOCTYPE Declaration>.

that's my problem.....maybe i have expressed myself wrong in the first place....sorry....if i change my <!DOCTYPE declaration into anything else beside what it is now...the drop menu doesn't work in Fire Fox

Wait...I might know what caused it.

document.getElementById('info').style

I forgot the close bracket.

Hmmm; everytime I've checked it in the current versions of the browsers, I had no problem seeing the drop-down.

Forgive Adam -- he's young and hasn't had his trifocals changed lately.

let me see if I got this right : instead of
"<li><a onMouseOver="info.style.visibility='hidden'" href="">Pagina principala</a></li>" I must put :
<li><a onMouseOver ="document.getElementById('info').style.visibility='hidden'">what ever </a></li>????

i'm really foged

No; if you want the drop-down to show, why would you code it as "hidden"?

ok "visible" but is the right sintax?

Okay, I'm totally confused. First of all, the back and forth makes no sense, it's like watching British TV.

But why would you want to hide your dropdown when someone puts their mouse over it?

no no no it was my mistake of copy/pasting something wrong....it doesn't matter you helped me excelent the site works, the menu works, it validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional......it's perfect THANK YOU VERRY much

You're welcome - that's what we were trying to convey; sometimes it takes different eyes and explanations to get things right.
