I recently started using DHTML Menu Builder but found that the menus it created wouldn't work in Firefox. See this post:
http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/topic-a … e-when/882
The fix ended up being to manually edit the html code to replace the DOCTYPE line.
I'd like to see it as an option in VSD to be able to select which DOCTYPE to use rather than having to manually edit all of the separate html pages. Even with handy text editors that can do a find/replace across multiple files, it'd be nice not to have to do that.
VSD: ability to select DOCTYPE

Orlando,
The problem is actually with the DHTML menu program. There are several message topics that discuss the fixes that must be made to get a functioning menu. The corrections have been made to my menu, and I now edit the code when I need to change my site menu. Editing the code is easier than going back and making all the changes again.
Once you get the menu code fixed, Firefox (and any other browser) will work with strict doctype. I use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
with my DHTML menu, and it works great with every browser I have tested.
