Something happened to my office's web site yesterday. (www.edlaw.com) I published a page I was working on (in Dreamweaver 6.0) and told it to include dependent files (which I normally don't) and then told it not to overwrite any files. Now on every page the navigation is just a list that is cut off at the top (it's supposed to run horizontally under our banner) and there is supposed to be a column on the left, but instead that text is running across the page and shifting everything else down. I didn't go into either of these documents and alter the code, but now I am wondering if I should to try to fix this problem. I was working with our network admin yesterday to restore a backup of all the files and that didn't change anything. I'm just hoping someone might have an idea of how I can fix this problem.

THANKS!

I can't find anything in http://www.edlaw.com/style/global.css related to the navigation menu, or the parent DIV's class names "globalnav" and "navImg02". So since the menu is marked up as an HTML list that's what it will look like...

BTW there are also quite a few XHTML errors: http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c.../www.edlaw.com/

Thank you for the information on the XHTML errors. I will clean that up.

I had someone else take a look at the site and he thought the CSS pages may have been overwritten. So I'm going to go to our backup files and replace just the CSS files. We'll see if that does it!

Well this did not work. The site is still unchanged. I just wonder if I need to go into the code to try to fix it. Why doesn't replacing the files with my backup files work?

Go see at http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/support/Training.../css.html#lists. Surely one of the links will help you sort it out.

See especially A Navbar Using Lists, Listamatic, Listamatic2, and Taming Lists.

Because the backup was identical to the already uploaded file(s)?
