The Transitional DOCTYPE was designed for use when CSS was being "born" nearly 10 years ago. Developers should be using the HTML4..01 Strict DOCTYPE, since IE still does not support XHTML, and the validator gives a false positive when it says IE does validate XHTML.


It got potential.
It has potential.

It's got potential.


No offense, but as Tim said, that doesn't really look like XP navigation. There is also no bottom padding, which makes it uneasy on the eyes in terms of aesthetics. You also have alot of ads on the demo page, which is another turn off. As nile said that does have potential, add some padding to the bottom of your list items, use more of a gradient then a 2 solid color split, and switch your doctype to HTML4.01 and I believe this would be a decent script.
