if you look at the above link in firefox and hover over registration in the upper navigation . the grey bar disapears, what css function would cause this to do so?

I see the gray bar, it remains the same for me in both IE and Firefox. There are a number of errors in there, though. You've got meta-tags inside of <div>s, at least THREE <html> tags and presumeably as many </html>s, missing </a>s and a link that goes something like "<a href = "something.ext>link_name<a>" (link not properly closed), -there's more. All can easily fixed though. Run this through any validator and it will cite the errors and possible suggest remedy.

You created this using Microsoft Office, I presume. Perhaps the worst way to create a web page. Validate and fix your many errors and then see what happens.

In Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Kubuntu the grey bar does not disappear. However, the word Registration is partially hidden. Would you like a screen shot?

the reason for three html tags is because the mainpage has two server side includes. the top navigation is one of them.

i've checked the code through a validator everything seemed fine
at least the css aspect of it.

and yes this page is maintained through Frontpage, which has its many annoyances. however it is required through my work that i use it.

tommorow i will list the css for the navigation hopefully it will work.

i just started with css, loading into my pages from outside file, now i got a similar problem

it works for ie, how i want it, but firefox shows it different. i used really simple layout stuff, anything i would have needed to consider?

Tedra, you should start your own thread. You have 97 html errors and several css errors. If your code works in IE but not Firefox then something is obviously wrong. Never code using IE because you will run into these problems. Always code using FF or Opera and then adjust for IEs bugs.
