Yes, and I really appreciate the screenshot she sent! it helps me see what's
going on (though I'll have to "fiddle" to see if I can get it fixed)

The little sitemap link is supposed to be under the menu, for older browsers
that cannot see the javescript menu. That was my "work-around" to bow to the
dictates of the director, who wanted the script, and recognize that there
are people who either don't turn on javascript or have browsers that cannot
see it.

Yes, I have viewed the pages in Opera 6.05 and they come up fine but if 
the page is refreshed, the menu is gone.

Thanks for checking in Netscape 7. I'm in the process of writing pages for
php, to dynamically pull pages together (and adding css and xhtml compliance
to those is a treat...not! lol!) and redoing the navagation so the menus as
they are will go away.

Thank you David and Maureen for your quick and kind help. I know what I'll
be working on today ;)
