New pages should be HTML 4.01 Strict. You are not "Transitioning" from
any old legacy pages.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
If "menu.js" is to ultimately be the page's menu, consider that visitors
with JavaScript disabled, unavailable, or stripped by a corporate
firewall, your page will be completely unnavigable. Put the menu in the
HTML and style it with the style sheet.
You have <div id=help> in your page, but no reference to that id in
your style sheet. Should be: <div id="help">
<LINK href="menu.css" type=text rel=stylesheet>
should be
<link href="menu.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
Your "contact.gif" is not in a container. <p>, <div>, etc.
