Hi.
I am new to CSS and have just created my first website.
Unfortunately the website does have a few flaws that I just can't work out how to get rid off.

I had the website checked today at w3.org and the check came up with this message:
Sorry! We found the following errors (3)
URI : <snip>
138 ul.MenuBarVertical iframe Parse Error :
138 ul.MenuBarVertical iframe Parse Error ;alpha(opacity:0.1);
139 ul.MenuBarVertical iframe Parse Error }

Like I said, I am new to CSS and have no idea what any of this means, nor how to fix it.
Can anybody here maybe help me out with this?

On top of that I have another problem with the website. I have uploaded it and checked it with various browsers. To my dismay the website only appears to be working in certain browsers and browser versions. I tested the website before uploading on IE 8.0, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.10 and the most recent Google Chrome. The test on all browsers was flawless but now that the website is uploaded it only seems to work well on Firefox and Opera, Chrome and IE fail to follow the text formatting and let each line run past the website's borders until the actual paragraph ends. A friend of mine who is running IE7 told me that the website runs fine for him but my other friends with Chrome and more recent versions of IE all get the same result as me.
Feel free to check the site yourself under www.christopherfunke.com and I hope you can help me with it.

Should you see the website alright, maybe this pic can give you an idea of what is going on:

Thanks for your time and thank you in advance for your help.
Chris

I'm sorry to push this post back up like this, but I still have no idea how to fix the menu bar issue. I cannot find anything wrong with the code that w3.org says is faulty and the website appears to be working fine. However, I can't help but being worried about the website having trouble with the code.
Can anybody help me fix the CSS issue?
Thanks again,
Chris

Hi Yoshi1981,

However, I can't help but being worried about the website having trouble with the code.
Good on you for aiming for valid code rather than just something that works.

Look for stray :(colon) ;(semi-colon) and }(curly bracket) that are in the wrong place. or maybe two where there should only be one. Look at the lines indicated by the validator, or just before them in the code as well.
