Look at the line below:

<link label="Creating a Card Simulation" url="whatever.com"
icon="http://jsdl.jacobs.com/jpi/eng/CardBeginingImportSimEx.swf" icon="mov" />

You can't have duplicate attributes in the same Node. ( "icon" and "icon")
According to the other Nodes, it looks like you meant to put:

<link label="Creating a Card Simulation"
url="http://jsdl.jacobs.com/jpi/eng/CardBeginingImportSimEx.swf" icon="mov" />

You can always open the the .xml file in IE and it "sometimes" it gets you
closer to the problem. Good Luck

thanks - Cant believe I missed it. ( I guess i can now )

Yep .. I may need to study more about XML. Or Im totally missing something
easy. I believe what the error message is saying is that.. I need to
encapsulate all of my top level menus inside a tag such as < menu > place all
my content in here for menus < /menu > I tried that and it works fine for a
single button drop down menu, but I really want this to work with a menubar
component.

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then
click the Refresh button, or try again later.
