The file wouldn't validate originally because it didn't like how the

over my head. Quite frankly, I don't understand how most of it works,
but it does under IE7, as does the rest of the website.

Getting a page to work in one browser, especially one that is not widely
used yet, is not much use.
The error message is very clear about what is wrong. But just to be nice...
Change this:
<ul>
<li>Bleh</li>
<ul>
<li>yadda</li>
</ul>
</ul>

to:
<ul>
<li>Bleh
<ul>
<li>yadda</li>

Now that you've said it, it seems obvious. But until you said it, I
didn't see it. Thank you. I've made those changes and it still works
in IE7, plus now it validates.

That led me to some more experimentation, and I think I have now
isolated it to the css declarations for the menu.

However, in the process of making the above mentioned changes, I
partially broke the background coloring for some of the top level menu
items. At this point I'm too tired to think straight, I'll come back
to it tommorrow.

In addition, prior to make those changes, IE6 was displaying the menu,
though none of the dropdown functionality worked. Now, the menu is
not displaying again on IE6, though the rest of the page is still
there, so I guess progress has been made.

Thanks again
