I think this is a better solution in some ways: http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/auto_hide/workpage.htm The script is more straightforward, deployed without trying silly ways to pretend it's not there, and has built-in support for IE5 Mac. > 4. Is it possible to target the top level links with CSS so they > don't > darken on mouseover (like the other links do)? Sure - by using the root <a> selector and the "ul li ul" for the subs. > Also can I stop the > cursor changing into a hand for these top links? (Basically I don't > want people clicking on the top level links, and the only behaviour > I > want them to see is the menu dropping down). Yes. Though you should still keep a link on the root items for browsers that need the script. > 5. Can I use CSS to make the white background of the menus > semi-transparent (i.e. so the images show through slightly)? Yes. You would use filter for IE and opacity for modern browsers. On the <a> selector: filter: alpha(opacity=65); opacity: 0.65; on the ul li:hover selector: filter: alpha(opacity=100) !important; /*for IE*/ opacity: 1.0; And for the selected state ul ul li:hover: filter: alpha(opacity=70) !important; opacity: 0.70; -- Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com "Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday". ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
