Drop Down Menu?

WebDDM is an egregious example of poor web design. The menus are completely broken with javascript disabled. I have trust issues with vendors of web building tools who can't get their own pages right. See http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.cortex-creations.com/demos/webddm-3.4b5/

You mean JavaScript enabled I hope that was a typo or careless mistake--the Java JRE is totally different than JavaScript

 

And you still haven't defined what fancy is in your opinion.

 

Quote: He asked for something interactive and "similar to Flash menus". CSS doesn't come close. Javascript can do amazing things and WebDDM has a lot of the interactive/fancy graphical effects.

Sliding menus, fading menus, tooltips, floating menus, etc.

CSS provides for hiding and showing a menu and some VERY rudimentary styling.

When HE is asking for fancy he doesn't mean "wow, the colors change!?" WebDDM might not provide the level of fancy he wants. If he wants the menu to be on fire and have background music, should probably use Flash. Javascript (and IMO WebDDM) is the next best thing. Again, he said he wanted something LIKE A FLASH MENU. These usually include a high amount of animation and effects.

Therefore, I think it's pointless to argue against me recommending WebDDM... I've worked on it and used it a lot, and I've gotten a lot of good reviews. If it doesn't work for you because you want CSS only, fine. If you need really really fancy menus that WebDDM can't provide, use Flash or Java.

And if you're upset that there are 9 validation errors on a demo page, okay, fine... I haven't updated the demo pages in a while. But that doesn't mean that WebDDM itself is flawed; the HTML page it's on is. And like I said before, WebDDM was designed to work when Javascript is disabled - you can very painlessly provide alternate menus that work for search engines/text browsers/etc.
