WinXP Pro SP1, AMD 2400+, 1gb ram. I can check tomorrow as well on my laptop, WinXP Home SP2, AMD sempron 2800+, 512mb ram, IE 6 whatever and FF1 0.4 (*sigh* guess I better upgrade it). I don't get any errors in IE at all just that hesitation. I'll post back tomorrow, late afternoon (MDT, USA) - have to go to town tomorrow (140 mile round trip, takes most of the early part of the day....)

But, I am unsure how to generate the same errors myself inasmuch as I have IE6.0.2 and Op8.02 and both run the DDmenu page smoothly with no errors. I am using WindowsXP Home on a laptop. How is it that these problems occur on your end? Different OS maybe? Let me know...

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.... V -------Original Message------- From: James A. Date: 08/09/05 20:25:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [css-d] A New Drop-down Menus Example Cool! Thanks... Yes that is why I did it... I wanted a more coherent, easy to read and share source. Will be here ready to improve upon, fix, or further perfect this tireless effort.

But so far (limited quick look-see in the middle of other stuff....) it seems far more "coherent" than the suckerfish examples. I have looked at this point only in FF1.0.6; I will certainly test further in the following: IE 6, Op 7.23, 8.02, Konqueror linux (assuming I can get either Kanotix to utilize my serial hardware modem, or get SUSE installed shortly....) and report back. It looks really good so far. I'm hoping - REALLY crossing all body-parts hoping! - that this is a real breakthrough, since I have SO MANY place where this would be perfect, which suckerfish has not been....

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.
