Smile Navigation menu randomly altering its appearance

Hi,

Although I'm not new to website designing or website programming, I have not had the chance to spend a great deal of time with CSS and learning all the ins and outs.

Please can someone help me out and point me in the direction as to why my menu on the site http://www.strats-estates.co.uk is randomly changing its appearance every so often.

It displays perfectly fine on my work computer (FF2 on XP, 22' monitor) and my collegue's (IE 7 on XP, 19' monitor) but every 10-15 page refreshes, the menu will either line up as a vertical list with each menu name on a seperate line or as 2 lines with 3 menu names on the first and 2 on the second.

I've run it through a validator but this hasn't helped me solve the problem and it is something that I've never discovered before, usually a page will display the same every time (whether its correct or not).

Thank you for any help!

Re: Navigation menu randomly altering its appearance

The best thing you can do before trying to debug any strange happenings, is fix those validation errors (47 errors).

The worst thing in there is you've defined another doctype at line 46!!!! I see you got the CSS menu from Stu Nicholls, and by the looks of things you've done a bit of copying and pasting and this is where things went wrong!

The first thing to do, take out that second doctype, and the extra <head> and <body> so you're HTML ends up looking like this

Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<!--head content-->
</head>
<body>
<!--body content-->
</body>
</html>
Then get cracking on those other errors
