Here is a simple demonstration of the problem :
1. [Error] Line 899<https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.idga.net%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices#line-899>, Column 51: document type does not allow element "UL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag
<ul id="ddsubmenu7" class="ddsubmenustyle">

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).
Thus you have used id="ddsubmenu1" more than once, which is not permitted.

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
