Surely this means it’s no-longer “pure CSS”? J  I’m cool with solutions like this that utilise a little _javascript_ niceness to enhance menus (and also, I noted the keyboard access of the menu in question, which is cool, but tabbing all the way to an item deeply nested isn’t *that* nice).  My bone was just with this as a *purely* CSS method from a usability and accessibility point of view. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
