Many designers choose to use dropdown menus as they consume less real estate and do not overload the page content like sidebar menus often do .... there when you want them but out of the way when you don't .... and they can be mulileveled easily Originally dropdowns required scripting techniques which meant a tradeoff for security and requirement for alternate solutions for browsers without scripting .... But now pure CSS/html (no scripting) solutions are available. But they depend on the :hover pseudocode which unfortunately has not been implemented in Amaya. These menus degrade to lists if the browser does not understand css (text only types) ..... I don't know whether the lack of hover implementation is due to complexity, priorty list placement, or just a perceived lack of importance. But i am making the pitch that hover can play an important roll in page design and should therefore be available to designers who choose Amaya for its ability to generate quality code that validates to recommendations. thanks for listening --- this may be something to bash away at when summer is over and all are returning to work..... ta -- -- John Russell, VE3LL@COGECO.CA http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll http://home.cogeco.ca/~trains http://home.cogeco.ca/~cipher
