Re: [WSG] Drop down menu, JavaScript accessibility
With java disabled in FF1 the drop downs appear as a long bulleted list and of course everthing else get moved around. Doesn't look like the same site at all.

As a local government site, we get tested for accessibility regularly, both internally and by external parties, together with our own tests. Our CMS is still in the dark ages as regards web standards and producing accessible code, but I've managed to get much of the site valid as possible (Google currently indexes 33,700 pages, minus .pdf and .doc files). However one of the more recent external tests indicated that the drop down menu was failing the site due to the way the menu appears if JavaScript is disabled.

I have been working in 800x600. One problem is the background image in the header stopping too short and being replaced by the background color (I could perhaps change the background color to white so that this is not noticeable) but the main issue is the length of the page. In 800x600 the page fills the screen so that practically no vertical scrolling is required. I wanted the navbar to be completely visible at all times so haven't got a lot of content elsewhere on the page. The subsequent pages are not a problem as they will have lots of content and so fill the screen vertically. However, the main page stops about halfway down in 1024x768 which looks awful. Is there any way around this? I have been reading up on various solutions including js about which I know nothing and am hoping for a simple fix.

[WSG] css Snippet

It worked fine after copying the snippet from the email. Thanks for the
help and links.
Did you paste it in exactly as you show below? If so, your sample would not
have worked as you had some odd characters in the rule set. Try this
(whitespace and line breaks are up to the individual as they are ignored
anyway):
* { padding:0; margin:0; }
It might be worthwhile reading some basic info about rule sets to get you
started:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/selectutorial/rule.htm
The * in this case is the universal selector:
