You wouldn't want the menu to disappear, would you? > The "CSS only" functionality is achieved by using a lot of conditional > comments to support MSIE 6 and the HTML rendered within IE6 is invalid > (TABLES inside A elements!).

The whole point of this menu project was to avoid using JavaScript. Sorry Christian. Given that Internet Explorer is broken, one is then left with no choice but to mix presentation and structure, and create code that won't validate. Not a bad trade off considering what has been achieved. If anyone is interested in Steve's process of development and testing (with many, many participants using different platforms, browsers, versions,) you can read the posts yourself at http://www.grc.com/groups/news.feedback. But I recommend that you download the posts (grc.news.feedback) into your news reader (from news.grc.com) for easier access. See http://www.grc.com/discussions.htm for more information about this method. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
