Hi folks
I wonder if any of the javascript gurus out there can help a
cut'n'paste non-programmer...
<disclaimer>I didn't design this site. The client's inhouse designer
did. I don't like the dropdowns; they get tedious. But dropdowns she
wants, and dropdowns she gets.</disclaimer>
I have a site build in progress [1] and I'm using an adaptation of
Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb's Son of Suckerfish dropdowns. I even
have two separate nested lists on each page - and all works as
requested in 'good' browsers; I'm actually pretty happy with it.
Except, of course, when I start testing in Exploder. Fixed all the
layout issues, but IEWin [2] refuses to display the second dropdown -
which should appear on :hover of the text links at right. I assume this
is a bug in my clumsy attempt to duplicate the javascript [3] but I
don't know enough to find it.
Another issue with these dropdaowns is a really unsightly flashing on
and off of the graphics of the main menu as the links are :hovered
over. My virtual PC setup gives slower than normal rendering of web
pages, but even with a real PC I would imagine there's a flash of
white. Any clues?
The relevant rules for the menus in my css file [4] start at line 66,
with the comment /* navigation - top level */.

wet weekend, but it works...

she wants, and dropdowns she gets.
Also:
This. Is. A. Work. In. Progress. Please resist the temptation to
comment on accessibilty (or the lack thereof); I know. The markup is
not finished yet. If you delve into the site and marvel at the multiple
stylesheets, that's how I work. They'll get combined and condensed
later. And the underscore hacks in the css files are a quick first
check and fix for IEWin; they'll be moved to their own files and
delivered vis CCs.

Thanks for your time.
