    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on a site and my boss wants drop down menus. Everything was going great with the CSS, but as we all know some browsers need a little more help to make the functionality work.

    I searched the web to find a article that would help me fix the problem, and I found one on A List Apart. After implementing some of the hacks, my drop downs didn't work anymore, and I don't know what happen.

    If you could please take a look and let me know what needs to be done to make them functional again, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is the links where you can find the files:
    HTML doc: http://www.rootedinpeace.com/menu/index2.html
    CSS doc: http://www.rootedinpeace.com/menu/riplayout2.css

    Peace,
    Dhane Diesil

    My advice - write your CSS menu as a normal :hover pure CSS solution for modern web browsers. The only legacy browser you need to worry about at this point is IE6, and maybe IE 5.5, so just feed it peterned's csshover2.htc.

    http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

    hide that behavior file behind a * html hack so it only gets sent to old versions of IE, end of problem.

    Oh, and avoid ALA - they have a lot of good ideas but they try to hard to push the boundaries without explaining that most of what they are showing isn't really deployable code.
