Nope, 'Pure CSS Popups' doesn't work on Mac IE5.2. It manifests itself
in a similar way to yours; all I see is a tiny black box appear in the
top-left corner of the navigation section. I haven't seen that method
before, but it certainly doesn't look tricky. Still, IE doesn't like it
one bit. . . ah well.

Thanks John,
I can't understand that 'see example' link problem - do Eric Meyer's
'Pure CSS Popups' work correctly on Mac IE5.2?
url: <http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo.html>
Just had a thought - maybe it's because mine are in a floated
container... If THAT'S the case then I'll simply make the link on my
page point to another page with the example info - that way, every
browser where it works gets the 'pop-up' and any that don't get a
clickable link.
Re. Netscape 4.7 - cheers, I thought that I'd better get that one
covered, especially as it wasn't too much trouble to do so!
You're right about the menu of course. I'll give some thought to
implementing a 'skip to nav' solution.
cheers,
Stuart

Stuart-
Well done, the site is playing very nicely with Safari and IE5.2!
Layout is great, VIEW COACHES dropdown still functioning fine over
here.
Still, IE5.2 doesn't successfully display the ADDITIONS/CORRECTIONS
example, it behaves same as before.
And since I can check it here at work, it behaves the same in IE5.1
on Mac OS9. I also took a look at it in Netscape 4.7 (for kicks), and
everything looks good. I especially appreciate your
accessible-friendly way of handling the "VIEW COACHES" link; since my
netscape didn't understand the js, it followed the link to the
coaches.php page instead. Very nicely done.
The navigation is, however, at the end of the HTML document, making
it hard to find. I'd suggest perhaps a couple of anchored links at
the top of each page pointing to the various page elements (i.e.
"skip to navigation", "skip to content", etc.).

I've just amended the CSS again for this site, thanks to the
feedback from John and Barry, and I wondered whether they, or anyone
else could take another quick look at the areas specified in the
original message...?
It seems that adding little more than a 'position:absolute'
declaration to the problem containers cured it (at least, as far as
I can tell with Browsercam)
Thanks,

The two areas that need checking are the 'VIEW COACHES' open/close
menu toggle link, and, the 'see example' 'pop-up' help on
'Information' label in the small form at the bottom of the coach
pages (the Jimmy Hogan/William Townley/Jack Reynolds pages). I've
taken a couple of screen grabs of what they're SUPPOSED to look
like as a comparison - see:
