Interesting, I had no idea! Thanks for the tip :) > Far, far superior to the JS crap. > Yea, there's a lot of things that are much better done in CSS that a lot of people don't even know about. For example, most rollovers are easily doable in pure CSS. But there's a lot stuff out there (paricularly things created in Adobe's "software") that use JS for rollovers, which doesn't even work as well (even with JS on). OTOH, I don't like CSS drop-down menus. Maybe it's different in CSS3, but in CSS2 the only way to make CSS menus work is for them to open upon rollover, not click. And dropdown menus opening upon rollover is just a usability mess, IMO, *and* inconsistent with pretty much any GUI OS I've ever used.
