No-Java, all-CSS dropdown menu
This very intresting horizontal dropdown menu uses tables (rather than JavaScript) to create the secondary (dropdown) menu lists. It works with most browsers, including MSIE.
Oh — it requires use of XHTML 1.1 DOCTYPE; and it does not validate. But it does seem to work. By Stu Nicholls, whose site altogether warrants a bit of exploration. Many other menu ideas, layouts (including a CSS frame), no-graphic methods of creating round-cornered and even trickier box shapes, and some CSS animation tricks. Useful? Maybe not always. But clever, and reading his explanations often illuminates some puzzling bit of CSS. __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

Incidentally, I'm planning to put ads on the forum pages of my site, and the program I'm using, phpAdsNew, works best with a JavaScript invocation code. So I ran a poll of members, and found that only one in 20 doesn't have JavaScript enabled. __________________ |

But when I mentioned that in INETPUB, a couple of people (Kelvyn and Dennis, I think) told me that, for example, most firefox users disabled JavaScript. Maybe I'm 'fortunate' in that most people who use my site use IE. __________________ |

They may know mostly very web-savvy people. Regular people are usually just grateful to make their way around without obvious disaster! __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

I use FF and allow JS, and do not think I am unusual in that. (But I have no more evidence to back it up than whoever made the original statement!) __________________ Lois Wakeman http://lois.co.uk http://communicationarts.co.uk http://i4info.blog.co.uk |
