To cut to the chase what are peoples opinion of the following navigation systems: NYTIMES http://www.nytimes.com/pages/world/index.html Here there is two steps to get to a section under US news. INDY UK http://news.independent.co.uk Here it is full of javascript but it takes 1 step to get to a section under Sport for example. Open questions, open opinions very welcome.
One of the problems with INDY UK is that it is very natural to click on the top-level link without even noticing that there is a second-level navigation that becomes available. Basically you have some links that just behave like links and then you have other links that behave like links AND dropdowns. It's complicated and hard to catch on. Also, as the page is still loading the second-level change-on-hover doesn't work for a while. I know the NYTIMES doesn't seem like the slick cool solution here, but it's very natural and predictable for users which means less time scratching heads and more time reading the actual articles, which is good for you. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net .. designtocss.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
