Hi Christian,
I am pretty new to all of this and by no means any kind of expert - so I
am reading this all with interest.
I have often been told that pure CSS is a good idea as javascript is
something that can be turned off - is this true?
I am very much in the camp of pushing envelopes etc - but in the 'page'
- at the end of the day, maybe navigation is the one area where you need
to stick to what works best across all scenarios.
I think the most important phrase for this kind of thing is 'graceful
degradation'. I personally think you should have a menu that looks
exactly as you want it with all bells and whistles - on the perfect
platform say a std FF browser. Then it should be capable of degrading as
each bell and whistle is removed. As part of this process I guess
trade-offs are made and that is the beauty of every client being
different. Where one may leave off a bell to help out a particular group
of users ... another may ask for a bag of whistles and stuff 'em!
So, I am quite clear on what you DON'T like - but what about these great
combination menus with CSS and javascript? Can you point us to some of
your work? I am not really interested in key tab navigation right now -
I'd just like to see:
1. How good these 'super-valid' menus can look.
2. What methods are used to achieve them and how they cope with the
'turning off' idea I have mentioned above.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks,
Max.
