That's not turning off CSS, that's Internet Explorer's way to turn off /some/ CSS (fonts and colors, not positioning). Use the "Toggle CSS" link in the page to turn off all CSS and you'll see that it's fine without CSS. Does anyone have a good solution for overcoming that setting in IE? The problem is that since it turns off background color CSS, but not CSS positioning, the text can overlap and be hard to read. With this IE setting, I don't know that /any/ DHTML menus could overcome the noted problem. However, one of the things we may provide is a basic user style sheet for download. This is a much better solution than IE's weak CSS control. > The second problem, for me, is that you can't navigate with only the > keyboard and tab touch.the menus open and close always. Yeah, I was trying to provide a way around that with the skip links. I don't want to make them open onclick because the top level contains links of it's own. > When you only use keyboard to navigate you can open all sub menus, but the > focus is always on the top of main menu.

I'm definately open to rethinking the problem, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to please everyone... especially myself. ;) Thanks for your response. James -- http://www.cookiecrook.com/
