I am not the best at html so am not very confident that this will have
worked and especially for all browsers.

The HTML has nothing to do with it.
When you click on the individual dates does that update come up for you?
Yes.

Also is there anything wrong in using these types of menus? Can some
browsers not view them?

Anyone with Javascript disabled/unavailable (most estimates say around
15%). Plus Googlebot (though in this case the additional text is in the
source, so Googlebot will still see it anyway). You could display the
information by default (which you're not doing at the moment), then hide
it with Javascript when the page loads (and show it again when the link
is followed). That way everyone will still get the information. But I
think you're trying to do too much. Why not just link them to separate
pages? Or even anchors in the current page if you really want to? The
user has to download all of the information anyway, so why not let them
see it?

Hi,

I have tried using more advanced menu html for the first time this evening
and I was just wondering if it works on other's computers.

Hoping that someone could quickly verify it for me.

Any browser with CSS support but no Javascript (either not supported,
switched off or filtered out by a proxy) will not be able to access the
content. There is a simple fix though:

Change this:
<p id="listTwo" style="display:none">

to this:
<p id="listTwo">

(do that for all the expandy bits)

and then create a Javascript function called "init" like this:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function init(){
document.getElementById('listOne').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('listTwo').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('listThree').style.display='none';
}
//--></script>

and add it to your body onload:
<body onload="init();">

Now the lists will be initially hidden using Javascript (not CSS).
