Greetings All,

I have a client that wanted me to completely redo a table-based site he
has using css positioning with an eye towards standards compliance
(don�t you wish there were more of those clients?!).

The page he gave me to work from is: http://dev.cmhhike.com/

He wanted to preserve the function of the drop down nav, which was
image-based using heavy scripting, but wanted it to be list- and
css-based.  He also wanted the page to be centered.  And he needed to
preserve the drop down pop-up box thing, but he wanted to have it
positioned differently.

I used the Son of Suckerfish Dropdowns article
(http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/) as a jumping-off
point for the nav work.  Then I used a Slide Layer Dreamweaver extension
(http://dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=3484) by Marja Ribbers
(http://dmxzone.com/myZone.asp?userid=8884) to create the sliding
behavior of the �pop-up.�

The reworked page can be seen here:
http://www.manisheriar.com/kevjo/cmh/index.htm 

I have tested it in FF and IE on the PC and was wondering if I could get
feedback from users of other browsers and platforms.  And any other
feedback about usability or anything else would be appreciated.  I�ve
never used these techniques before and I�m just not sure how kosher they
are.

I know that one issue is that the far right menu, when hovered over, if
it extends past the width of the browser than you get a horizontal
scroll bar and no easy way to reach the sub-nav lists.  I�ve also heard
that things aren�t working quite right in Mozilla on the Mac, but
haven�t had any details on this.  If you do spot problems, screenshots
would, as usual, be greatly appreciated.  And even more greatly
appreciated would be any ideas on how to fix the problems!

Thanks SO much everyone!
