I was hoping to avoid making the change, but you may be right. I'll try your method, I'm sure it will work fine. Do you have any idea why the down arrows wouldn't display properly in IE6/7? Did you see it in IE? I know it's not "semantic", but I'd sure like to find a quick fix and leave it as it is: ----------------------------- I would post on Dynamic Drive's forums and/or contact the author. The technique (a list for the root menu and disjointed submenus) is not necessarily non-semantic or inaccessible. That's actually a similar technique to the one used by Opera for several years on its web site. That said, I would also not fall for the trap that because the sub-menus do not appear when script disabled it's bad. It's not, and so long as you organize your site correctly, it's arguably more accessible to prevent the sub-menus from being available without script and without a mouse. Scripted menus have many more advantages. You can Google "christian heilman, javascript menus" for more info and you can read this brief article: http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/ug-examples/accessible/index.htm Note that the article involves one of our products but the concept is applicable to any menu.
