RE: Previously passed now errors.

In your style sheet, simply move all the code you have under

.ddsubmenu1

into

.ddsubmenustyle

This will resolve the problem and be styling the class rather than the ID. ID can only be used once: you should place styling elements you plan to re-use in multiple places into the class rather than the ID.

App. 50 page site <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> previously passed .. now 9 errors each page from drop down menu.  Error:  <ul id="ddsubmenu1" class="ddsubmenustyle">

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value.  IT DOES. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets (I AM) it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

Sorry but I don't understand.  Please help.  Thank you, Millie Metzler
