Javascript menus broken under Firefox if correct W3C validator is used

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

This annoying problem is only happening under Firefox. IE displays the page fine.

So here it is. This page – [url]http://www.leonardi.adv.br/indexteste.html[/url] – has the correct DOCTYPE referente, which is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd“>

You will notice that, under Firefox, the javascript menus on that page all show up on the left side instead of showing right under each option, which is the way it is supposed to be.

For instance, this other page – [url]http://www.leonardi.adv.br/andamentos.html[/url] – has only the DOCTYPE reference, without the URL, but it displays the menus just fine under Firefox, IE and whatever else.

What I have noticed, so far, is that the menus on indexteste.html load fine under IE but crap under Firefox, whereas andamentos.html, which is essentially the same code except for the URL referente, displays the menus just fine under either browser.

What could be causing this?

To be valid assignments, the left and top properties need length specifications; i.e., change your positioning statements to something like this:
<i>
</i>document.getElementById(LayerID).style.left = (xPos - 4) + "px";

Cheers!

Success!
