Wickham Posted June 10, 2012 Report Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) You have several errors if you check here:- http://validator.w3.org/ and you need to save your html file and the css file as ANSI not utf-8; use File/Save As in Notepad or your text editor and you will see a box for Type which should be All files (*.*) not Text Documents (*.txt) for the html file but .txt is OK for the css file and another box for Encoding which should be ANSI not utf-8 (the meta tag in the head section with charset=utf-8" is OK). Your doctype is wrong, you have xhtml11-strict.dtd which should be xhtml1-strict.dtd and xm1ns should be xmlns small L not 1 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Don't use spaces in file names, rename your files nested-list-vertical-list.html and vertical-menu-3.css and edit the stylesheet link in the html file head section to the revised filename. #menu ul in the stylesheet needs to work with a parent element with id="menu" in the html file. so you need to enclose all the ul codes in <div id="menu">... ul codes here....</div> Edited June 10, 2012 by Wickham Quote
