JamesA:
For your ddmenu1: In IE6, there's that little "pause" when one thinks it's going to bork and die.... but then it does work, and works quite well comparatively (and considering which browser is under discussion *sigh*). Only other caveat: you have to actually hover!pause over the menu item in order to "force" the onhover change of color/graphic. But that's IE for you, and that's to my mind at least, fully acceptable. In Op 7: js error as follows - Event thread: onmouseout Error: name: TypeError message: Statement on line 9: Expression evaluated to null or undefined and is not convertible to Object: this.lastChild.style Backtrace: Line 9 of linked script http://www.ximbalo.com/test/ddmenu.js this.lastChild.style.visibility = "hidden"; At unknown location {event handler trampoline} [[this appears once for each instance of the js it would seem and then the mouseovers stop in midstream so the sub-levels never drop down except on the first section ("Cross"), and then only when one has almost moved the mouse OFF that main selection.]] Op 8: js error as follows: .: Minimalist Drop-Down Menus :. http://www.ximbalo.com/test/ddmenu1.htm Event thread: mouseover Error: name: TypeError message: Statement on line 8: Could not convert undefined or null to object Backtrace: Line 8 of linked script http://www.ximbalo.com/test/ddmenu.js this.lastChild.style.visibility = "visible"; At unknown location [statement source code not available] [[similar to error in Op 7, rephrased for the newer version one assumes. Any attempt to mouseover the menu main items results in the js error box popping up. One sees the menu dropdown behind the error box, however.]] I will check with Konqueror tomorrow....

I have been working for a couple months on a website where the customer wants a drop-down menu. After studying the typical examples out there... Suckerfish, etc... I thought I finally had a good working model. But alas, when I finally had an opportunity to check it out on Macs... bad news. So... I began to study more examples, and work at it and work at it, until... finally I think I may have brought together the best of all the examples out there, while also *distilling* the code down to a bare, clean minimum and ALSO removing all hacks, browser fixes, and inflexible font and sizing issues. I hope that everyone here will please glance at it, test it on their various browser versions that I may not have access to, and provide me with feedback. If in the end, I can arrive at a DDMenu "template" that works on all browsers, without lots of hacks and fixes, and is easy to reuse... then I am going to begin building my own (public) library of reusable CSS code starting with this DDMenu. SO... Feedback is most welcome... thank you.
