For what it's worth, I often find that Dreamweaver is "spotty" in recognition of various stylesheet elements. I use it so rarely that I never really worried about it but was curious to see that I'm not the only one to ever encounter this.

Yes, I know... I hadn't thought of that though for some reason. It's better than having to upload all the time but not as good as having it built in to the program. DW's validator is really nice, because you can just double click on the error message and it will take you right to the place on the page where the mistake is. Makes things so much easier.

Is Opera6 an option? has built in W3C validation on right click

I'm sorry, I totally overreacted - I've been having a rather frustrating week at work so I'm sorry for taking it out on you all here.

Here's another problem that I really would like some help with - I can't run the validator in Dreamweaver on this, and other, pages because parts of the code are in an include file. Do you know of a way to get around that? I could always upload the page and use the w3c online validator, but then I have to upload it every time I need to check something. I really wish that Dreamweaver had better handling for include files... I think that "convert to xhtml" was giving me problems too there - I'd really like to be able to run that one to fix things up but it won't let me.

You should seriously consider changing your attitude and stop taking every comment like an insult. Noone said that your code was bad. I run those commands all the time (espesially when I'm done with a page) to remove duplicates and also to format the HTML so that I can easier follow it. You asked for our help and we all took time and looked through your pages and posted here what we _thought_ _could_ be the cause of your problem and we all did it to help you as that is what we do (help eachother) in this forum. Instead of a "thank you" we get accused of insulting you. I'm personally very offended by this and I want you to let me know if this is what I should expect in the future and I will stop trying to help you.

I personally do not feel that my code is bad enough to necessiate running those commands. It must be the case that one of those stylesheet calls is working while the other isn't - strange. As I said above, I had decided to move the stylesheet & js references to the include, but didn't get back to cleaning up the other files. SOrry for bothering you all with my crappy work.

Just a few things I've noticed by looking at the source...

1. the is completely different on the first page than the others and also the first page has HTML with low caps (not sure if this causes a problem or not)

2. On pages except the index one you're calling the style sheet twice where one is HTML and one is XHTML and in the index page you're calling it only once with XHTML.

I suggest you do a "Commands > Clean Up HTML" and also "Commands > Apply Source Formatting" and hopefully that will help

Did you read what I said? It's not working in dreamweaver - it's fine in the browser.

Thanks for reminding me about the javascript problem.
