My client is reporting that the menus are squashed up and the dropdowns dont appear when viewed in IE7, it seems fine in all other browsers i have tested. Im awaiting a screenshot from http://browsershots.org

If any of you use IE7 and wouldn't mind having a look here - http://www.bluesonthefarm.co.uk/ - and let me if the horizontal menu displays correctly with drop downs on the days and info

Thanks to all

Move:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


before the template comment that currently appears on top of the page. IE won't display properly if this isn't the very first thing on the page.

Thanks for your prompt reply, i'm getting the client to review the page again

However to get the doc type above the the template i had to edit in note pad. The dreamweaver template starts like this

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

on the actual page (http://www.bluesonthefarm.co.uk/index.html) dreamweaver codes it like this

<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/templateFull.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" --><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Would you know how i set up dreamweaver to put doc type above the template comment by default?

Thanks again

Reviewing the code i was missing the opening <html>, suprised that dreamweaver didn't flag this to me
