Thank you, Alan. And, yes, I do want to make the site accessible to everyone. At the moment you can click on any of the top level choices and if they happen to have subnavigation then that will appear in the left sidebar. BTW, are there dropdown menus out there that do work with keyboards in

Re: [css-d] Opinions on Yahoo CSS grid builder

IMO, the resulting YUI grid constructions are less practical than nested-table constructions. That in addition to the fact that I don't like 'locked em-sizing' in web design, means I'll never use or recommend the grid builder. Maybe they can take your suggestions and make it better.

Re: [css-d] Can't beat a table for this navbar?

One could argue that a bunch of links (as in your example) could properly be considered tabular data (so what if they also work as links - each one is a chunk of information, data, and they need to be grouped together in a logical way, even if only on one row) and therefore be presented in an

Re: [css-d] first-letter replacement

I don't see why you set the width to such a large value, but anyway, by CSS specifications, only a certain set of properties have an effect on a :first-letter pseudo-element, and width and height are not among them. Besides, you would need to write a separate CSS-rule for each initial
