Hi Kornel True, that older site didn't require a lot of css. I did, however use the body class or id, I can't remember to trigger the sub nav to open.
I've never liked that navigation layout. It was clumsy in cross-browsers. If I still worked there, I'd re-do it. I'll send them a note about the padding. I guess the point of the whole process is, if you have a lot of pages and need to create a navigation that is universal, using the body class and a set of rules in your CSS to open and close is a nice way to go. It's also nice if you can scrap all of this work and simply use a dynamically generated navigation list with appropriate class="here" attributes. There is a piece on alistapart.com, one of the latest, that discusses how to combine this with rollover and current states. I've already used it's logic on a test navigation for a museum in Puerto Rico.

Sub-navigation doesn't even change when you hover main elements - page has to be reloaded just to change that bit of CSS... BTW: clear padding on body, becase page looks a bit broken in Opera. -- regards, Kornel Lesiński ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
