Kristine ::

I wouldn't worry about the drop down menus too much. Works well in Firefox. You 
have to expect some incompatibility when using javascript driven menus. However 
if you have some expertise at CSS there are many interesting menu possibilities

Chris :: I don't agree that the titles are useless. They are used correctly but 
are not necessarily visually attractive in their application.

It might be that xml requires lowercase only and that the problem is the
"H" in the id "div_Heading".

I don't kow the answer to this question but I just wanted to clarify 
that XML *does not* require "lowercase only".
XML *is* case sensitive so that in XML  would not be valid, but 
 and  are.

Unless I move fast, the entire drop-down menu disappears before I
can reach the first item. (Drop-down menus are not good for
usability.)

The tabs have useless title attributes; they just repeat the text
in the tab.

[WSG] Dropdown Menu disappears after 2nd or 3rd links down

[Kristine Cummins]

Hi all,

When hovering about the 2nd or 3rd links down in the dropdown, it disappears
instead of allowing the user to scroll the entire list of links. The issue
is in Safari and seems to work fine in IE and Firefox

Menu / Web page: http://www.artscouncilnapavalley.org/test/index.shtml

CSS: http://www.artscouncilnapavalley.org/test/menu.css

The dropdown css is towards the bottom of the file.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Kristine
