Tom, on http://new.uh-hosting.co.uk/ check in IE5.2.2 on mac view text size 100% looks ugly, the drop down list is off, with js on, but worse php,asp and ds are shifted way down the page. Mozilla behaves far better. golf.uk.net has a similar problem with js, at least on this machine :-) thanks Jonathan On Wednesday, May 28, 2003, at 01:52 am, Tom Gilder wrote: > > On Wednesday, May 28, 2003, 12:52:14 AM, Julian Voelcker wrote: >> OK, I take your point, however I am referring to menus that are based >> on >> ordered multi-level lists that then use primarily CSS and some js to >> provide >> the interactivity. > > I've made a couple of menus that I've tried to make as accessible as > possible.
