1 suckerfish Dash of javascript Jest of CSS http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/
http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ With the horizontal menus, you can't really have link text that wraps two lines, but with verticals you can. The only problem is you have to offset the submenus up higher, and that offset is different for different browsers. I went so far as to have my javascript get the length of the link text and adjust the topMargin differently when beyond a certain length. http://webmail.magnolia.info/Lists/user-list/Message/5767.html http://webmail.magnolia.info/Lists/user-list/Message/5768.html I was using browser hacks to fix IE's menu boxes, but read that those will no longer work with IE7, and that conditional comments are a better way to go so now use those. Either way, there doesn't seem to be a way to get around having to setup IE specific CSS rules somewhere. If you don't mind adding javascript into something that doesn't really need javascript, you can have different icons on certain menu items. The most complicated test I did is a horizontal version formatted like an Office Outlook menu. It adjusts the widths which I don't like because you can see them shift around. I think the solutions is to limit the 1st level items to only 5 - 7 links and define a static width. http://www.ahouse4you.org/css_menu/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 12:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] New reference site > > > Note that the fancy CSS-menu doesn't work in IE. > > You're aware that a little javascript can get that menu going in IE? > Our designer tried some javascripts, but couldn't get it working.
