I too implemented (found on the net somewhere) a CSS menu structure which doesn't work on NetSurf but seems to be okay in other browsers. http://www.youngtheatre.co.uk/ I chose CSS and eschewed Javascript in order to appease The God Net-of-Surf. But, and this is purely a guess based on the CSS Menu sheet I found somewhere, but is it that NetSurf CSS doesn't implement what you need yet: e.g., does it 'do' 'hover' yet or is it that 'content' isn't implemented at all? In the progress documentation, 'Selectors' are 'Nearly done', 'content' is 'Not started'. http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/progress I think that if you have a look at the CSS of your menu's stylesheet against the list here, you may see what functionality is missing and why. I guess we will need to write a pop-out or drop-down menus in the bits of CSS that NetSurf does understand but I suspect it isn't possible and it needs the bits it doesn't do (yet). Unless some kind soul could point us at a CSS file which successfully implements dynamic CSS menus in NetSurf?
