Is this supposed to be XML, or did you just make up the menuitem and
menuitemdescription tags? If it's XML, you left out an <xml> tag and
you'll need an XSL style sheet to style the display. If you just made
them up, you can't do that.

Thanks for ersponding. I am still confused. Do I have to use xml for CSS
then? Why does Dreamweaver let me create tags which don't work? The
Dreamweaver tutorial does,\'t mention anything about xmi, not that I am opposed
to using it. Anyway, I'll try to make it xml, if I can figure out how to do
that. Thanks for the advice.

Gary:

Where do I put the <xml> tag, and how do I create an xsl style sheet? What is the relationip of CSS to XSL? Can you recommend a good book, or other resource, to get me started?

Well, browser support for XML is spotty at best. As far as doing any
client side XML, I'd suggest you not do it unless it's a controlled
environment, like an intranet. No, you don't need XML to use CSS. They
are entirely different things. The problem is that you just invented a
couple of tags that the browser has no idea what to do with.

For an introduction to CSS, you might visit:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

From there, there are numerous tutorials and articles around the web.
You may also want to consider a good book on the subject.

I mean no offense, but it sounds as though XML would be trying to run
before you can crawl at this point. Learn CSS first.
