Menu Modification Gone Awry - HELP!

When I went back into my page template and edited the CSS Menu Writer items, the result was insertion of the corrected menu items as a bulleted list above the original dropdown menu. In addtion, the background changed to gray. See attached template.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

John

the big issue that I see is that there are some orphaned closing tags. for example:
<li><span><a href="/company.html">Company Info</a></span></



the trialing </ is caisng an issue. I cant say if it was there before editing the menu or not, but if it was, it would certainly cause an issue similar to this.


I see other parts of your page that have a similar problem, there are a number of br tags that do not close "<br" instead of "<br />"
