12 Awful when you resize

Nice idea, but have you tried to resize this? It looks awful after a few larger text sizes.

Why can’t you specify most of your CSS paddings and so forth using ems, rather than pixels?

13 like macromedia

ironic everyone’s speaking of flash yada. This is the best solution for a css version of the Macromedia dropdowns. Very elegent, and much room for style.

I definitely see this making it onto some of my future websites.

14 more on resizing

I was just thinking, isn’t there a way to compensate for the text resizing… maybe doing something like combining the sliding doors method with this one? might need an extra <span> or something, but I think it’s doable.

15 Still prefer the suckerfish

I must say that I still prefer the sucker fish drop downs, having both lists and sublists horizontal means that the entire thing is stuck on two lines whereas with suckerfish it is spread out ofther the page.

A nicer hybrid would be to see the submenu items (for the active section) as a side bar whilst having an old fasioned suckerfish at the top.

I suppose that would be achiveable by mucking about with the example in this article but it would take a lot of work.

16 Looks similar

The end result looks a lot like the navigation I created for a company back in July, only difference is the sub-nav reverts back to the originally selected sub-nav. Don’t know which one I like better from an usability point of view though.

Here is my implementation, degrades nicely in older browsers or browsers with finicky Javascript support:

18 ...however

…the menu does seem offset to the right from the building image by about 50 pixels in IE 6. Not that I have any idea how to fix that, but just for the record.

19 Resizing

Hey Dustin, take a look at my version I posted above. It uses a sliding doors technique and resizes OK, but I use relative positioning to place the navigation, so as you increase the text size the navigation drops down the page and exposes an unstyled area. I should probably fix that ;)

20 Hybrid CSS on Opera 8.0 build 7401

It doesn’t look so good on Opera 8.0 beta (build 7401) for Windows.

You can find a screenie here:

I know… opera 8.0 is beta, but still. I had to share it.
