Done that - now much nicer. Thanks. I replaced it with 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Is that what you'd recommend?

That stuff is coming out of the CMS package, and is right out of my
control. Is it going to cause a problem, and if so, how do I negate it?

After changing the doctype, it now renders properly, except that the
right hand column still vanishes when you move the mouse over any other
menu options.

Any thoughts?
