my site, (www.lukesplace.com) which was designed using nothing but css looks perfect in Internet Explorer but on any other browser (Netscape, the Mac one) It seems to fall apart. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks
(also, how can I make sure my web page(s) work for any browser?)

A viable link would help. I get "connection refused" error.

Need to see the css files as well. And you might want to validate your markup, there's a few warnings that I don't think are causing your problems, but...

I find that it is best to design using Firefox and then fix the problems the IE creates than the other way around. FF renders css and html more accurately so when I'm building a site I use it as my browser and then check it in IE afterwards and fix IE's problems. Seems to go better for me that way. Just my experience, others myay differ, but I've see quite a few who do it this way. One guy even has "Design in Firefox" in his signature.

ok, my css file is at http://www.lukesplace.com/styles/style.css
Thanks!
Also, where can I go to validate my markup so I can see the errors?

I went to validate my site,
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lukesplace.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1
and got 16 errors (woaw!)
But dont understand why my javascript function has errors.

Yours is the second site I've looked at today using that method for menu (or one very similar) and the other one didn't work in anything but IE either. There are quite a few methods that do work, but all of them use at least some javascript. This (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns) is one good reference, and here (http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/menubar/) is another good one.
