:  |  I know Nothing but am trying to learn
I have a website which I have been bodging together over the past few years and recently decided to facelift with extremely low knowledge of anything. Just got dreamweaver, created a template and rebuilt all pages manually.
Also a few years ago I paid someone to create an xml and it is what the main part of the website is built around today. (Cant get hold of same person now)
I am relatively happy with the website now and although I know it has a lot of problems (ran a validation program online, ouch!!!) it looks ok and is very seo friendly due to the years of manual blood, sweat and tears I guess?
The problem I have is that the dropdown menu's which are fed by the xml through asp do not render correctly in any browser other than internet explorer where they work great.
As I have no knowledge of programming I dont have a clue why the menus dont work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc , dont know where to start and I am pulling my hair out googling millions of forums which I dont understand.
Would anyone be prepared to shed some plain english light on this for me? It really would need to be very simply explained...
So that you can see what I mean one of the relevant web pages is www.leaseworld.co.uk/quoteamotor.asp you will see that in ie it works fine but not with other browsers.
Whilst I am good at what I do I am rubbish at web design.
Please dont laugh at website cos I think it looks ok and Joe Public dont see the awful programming behind it.

Your programmer should've designed a menu that works for all browsers.
It used to be the norm to design and test only for IE, just a few years ago, but now that other browsers have grown in popularity, many people have found the same problem you have now.
If you aren't used to make HTML pages, I would suggest you to start with a HTML tutorial first, to grab the basics. Then look into some javascript, because that's what makes those little menus work.
You can alternatively (after reading up on HTML), look for an already designed menu that is cross-browser compatible (that's the term you are looking for now), and implement it on your site.
Good luck!
