I'm using a javascript nav on a test page I am creating and of course having the javascript on the main page is causing it to not be XHTML or CSS valid. I know that you should use a linkrel and link the javascript through an external .js file however I really don't know how to do this.
http://www.whos-blaz...est.php?id=main
is the testing page and the code in the head tags is:
<style type="text/css">

#dropmenudiv{
position:absolute;
border:1px solid black;
border-bottom-width: 0;
font:normal 10px Verdana;
line-height:18px;
z-index:100;
}

#dropmenudiv a{
width: 100%;
display: block;
text-indent: 6px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
padding: 1px 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}

#dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
background-color: #a2db4c;
}

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
I want to make it so that the CSS at the top of the code is in the .css document and the javascript is in a js document but haven't a clue how to do it I tried simply placing the js in a .js file but it didn't work. Oh and the link codes for the nav are like this:
[code]<a href="index.php?id=main" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1, '150px')" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()">Home</a>
[code]
also the <a href=""> isn't valid how do I do links for XHTML?

On this layout I also want to add a sidenav with a height extendable to the length of the content like I wanted before. I found a little trick here:

but I can't get it to work with my layout..anyone know why?
