Is there anyway of changing the Compatibility Test for Browser Version 6.0?

I keep getting all of these Layer Errors.... and quite frankly, I don't
think they are errors. It also complains about the fact that I have a
script written after the <head> tag. This should not be an issue.

and that's illegal.

The tree of a valid HTML page would be -

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

All HTML markup (except for <title>, <meta> and comments) should be between
<body> and </body>.

I'm working the issues but I don't understand how to fix:

Line 34: In Internet Explorer 5.0 the tag <DIV> cannot contain a tag
<BODY>.
Line 33: In Internet Explorer 5.0 the tag <HTML> cannot contain a tag
<DIV>.

It seems that these really shouldn't be an issue! Right?
This issue is on every page.

For what it's worth -

1. Your include doesn't seem to be working -

</head>

<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="IncludeItems/top.htm" TAG="BODY"
startspan -->
<div align="center">

As a result, you have no body tag on the page where it should be (below
</head>).

2. Your scripts have been inserted into a table cell -

<td align="center">

<script src="IncludeItems/TejanosMenu/xaramenu.js"></script><script
menumaker src="IncludeItems/TejanosMenu/tejanosmenu.js"></script>

This is functionally equivalent to placing layers into table cells, and
that's going to get you into trouble. These menu scripts (that second one
contains an invalid attribute "menumaker") are normally placed flat on the
page outside of any container other than <body></body> to avoid such
problems.

3. Below that, you have another include which *is* working, and it's
bringing a <body> tag into the middle of your page -

</div>

<!--webbot bot="Include" i-checksum="63563" endspan --><body topmargin="0"
leftmargin="0" link="#FAD734" vlink="#FAD734" alink="#00FF00" onLoad="
focus(); startBlink();" text="#FFFFFF" style="text-align: left"

That is not a good place to have the body tag.

4. Since both your menus and the scrolling areas are heavily javascript
dependent, I will see nothing there at all if I come to your site with
javascript disabled (both the menu and the scroller completely vanish).
When your menu is disabled like that, I can't navigate your site.

5. Again, because your menu system is all javascript embedded, a search
engine will have a hard time trying to find your pages. You may be
interested in this link -

http://tinyurl.com/4vgsc

that shows you how your page (and its 4 visible links) will appear to a
search engine.

I think you are between a rock and a hard place here. The page is clearly
broken as it is....
