OK my turn... I actually prefer sites with expanding menus (as distinct from "collapsible). however, most sites I've visited recently with them (IBM, Apple to name only two) the sub-menu appears when one hovers the mouse. This is the behaviour I have come to expect, and would be the behaviour that most users visiting the site would have come to expect. AIUI, the difference is a simple mod to the JS. So I would seriously suggest that you change the script so the menus expand (or come off the side) *on hover*, not on click. BTW, that might also require a simple JS to discover the browser, and if it is Opera load a slightly different style sheet, since many IE-targeted sites don't display the menu properly in Opera (example <http:/www.emailcash.com.au> and I seem to remember that the MS pages come out a little strange also). > > Cheers, -- Alex Fisher Co-Lead, CD-ROM Project OpenOffice.org Marketing Community Contact Australia/New Zealand http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
