request to view/test by IE7 users

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 browsershots.org

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

Thanks to all

Roy

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 Ray but i have a question

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 (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

Roy
