No, the stricter W3C validation routines only like the way Microsoft's PC
browser handles extensions. (Those validators don't like the EMBED tag that
other browsers use.)

You can have the browsers validate it, or the W3C validate it, but not both
yet, sorry.

Those functions like "MM_findObj" are indeed pretty compact, but I think
you may be able to get a faster and more predictable site overall by using
the menu clips built into the Macromedia Flash authoring tool.

(No disrespect to Java, which remains a great server-side language. For
efficient interactivity in the browsers the edge is with SWF files these
days.)
