Now I just need to work out how to sort out the css :)

I've had a play with some css and arrived at this:

Peter,

Nice, interesting design problem you've cooked up. I've made a first-draft effort at implementing it in CSS:

I first tried to come up with a technique that assembled the arrows from modular pieces so that the menu could stretch nicely when resized. I was partly successful but haven't yet thought of a way to get it to work for both up & down arrows.

I've been thinking along these lines lately, as I've just drafted another kind of menu that uses connecting lines:

Play with the category & location menus -- categories are only two-deep but location's four-deep. It is resizable (to a point).


Cheers,
Paul
