I do re-use styles from site to site so it is possible I had extra in there, though I thought it was all CSS being used for pages that are on the site just not uploaded to the server yet. Regardless, I will check that. In the meantime, regarding your other comments: Could you be more specific about the HTML errors? I did validate the HTML, but the only errors I got were regarding the drop-down menu that I am asking for help with. I can't fix those, as I don't know what I can do differently with that menu. The validation errors have to do with the IE6 hack. Again the menu was one I got from a resource site. If you feel that I need to find a new menu, say so. (sure, coding my own would be better. I'm working on learning how to do that but just not there yet.) Regarding your question about making the page too small for you to read, I am open to any teaching you wish to offer. As I learned CSS, I read over and over that the "right" way to size fonts is to set the page font size to 62.5% and then increase using ems. I am using a browser resolution of 1280x1024 and the font size I am using is 1.4em, which I felt was a suitable size, and to me, looks comparable to fonts on other sites I see. But if this is not the "right" way to do it, I'm open to hearing what is.
