Re: [Dynapi-Help] How DTDs effect IE 6 and Mozilla 1.5 on Windows (HTMLMenu)

Well I fixed it for Mozilla (added the px units to a couple spots).  It
fixed it for all of the DTDs for Mozilla, but there is a bug in the
dynapi.document.getHeight that is causing the IE errors listed below.

An email w/the htmlmenu.js diff and new file should be coming... I sent
it a few hours ago.
