My first solution is three years old and I *never* used it in real life... But I have added some extra padding on this one; as you can see, pointing device users can be off by almost 10px without losing the sub menus. Also, it is just a matter of taking care of what you're dealing with. Here I wanted the top level items to stretch across the container, but if I remove the last item (or may be two), then it would be more difficult for users to trigger the wrong sub menu as straight diagonal lines would not cross other items as much. IMO, the best would be to use this solution as a "fallback" for scripted methods. --- Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
