12 not too happy with the horizdropdowns menu

The menu works with IE6 on my system (WinXPSP1-IE6 version see below)

Nevertheless, the aforementioned example at www.naarvoren.nl seems superior IMHO.

It uses .htc for IE adaption, which, I reckon, is the adequate and reliable solution for IE compatibility.

Besides, the dutch menu (and others) allows for the creation of deep structures (sub sub menus etc.). I think that it’s a must (the dutch XHTML is valid and semantically OK too).

…the ala menu does not do that properly – lest I extended it wrongly; apologies in advance, should that be the case: http://www.byteshift.de/msg/ala/horizdropdowns (hover over the “about” entry)

I’m not too happy with the horizdropdowns menu; some perceive inferior quality with ala articles in the last years, that might be true.

Generally, I do prefer less, but better, articles.

My MSIE Version: 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633

Timing was perfect, I was in the midst of frankensteining the suckerfish stuff when this popped.

15 hover behavior

Why not use the hover behavior from http://www.hszk.bme.hu/~hj130/css/list_menu/hover/ ?

I’m sorry you didn’t like the article. To be fair, this method offers a simple, usable and compatible method for creating the desired effect. It was never intended to be anything else.

To help web designers who need to create drop-down menus do so with light, semantic, minimally invasive markup and code.

Not exactly the same, though both share a desire to let designer/developers work with light, semantic, minimally invasive markup and code.

>do we really need another entire article just to figure this out?

You might not need it, but some readers do. I found it helpful myself (and I’m not a fan of drop-down menus).

18 article date?

Okay, this may seem like a pointless comment but the issue date says June 22. And nobody posted comments until the 29th? Yup, I’m AR.

To those that would be critical of this article because it seems to repeat ideas of other articles…

How many chocolate chip cookie recipes would you imagine that there are in the world? You may even have a favorite. They are ALL valuable because they include their creators own understanding and contibution to the subject.

Please people, quit whining about the incredible generosity/information people put into these articles!

20 re: duplicate whiners

Amen. If you don’t need it, skip it. If you can use it, at least say “thank-you.”

Me, I’ll be fixing my dropdowns shortly.
