oh I wholeheartedly agree. There are very few places where having dhtml menus makes the site better at all.

You can still use lists as the underpinning of your links in the nav, btw, which will help you control them if you choose use CSS to make them look like buttons or such.

That's the way it is for me too.

I think this is really a better idea - those dHTML menus are usually more trouble than they're worth, so it's best not to use them unless you *really* need to.

ech. poop. Do they degrade in Opera?

Those don't seem to work in Opera (even if I set it to ID as something else). There is a line in the code that mentions Opera so maybe it had to do with v.6's DOM problems... doesn't work in v. 7 either though.

Ah, yes, if you're not very familiar with CSS and XHTML/HTML, that can be confusing. I'd recommend starting with Dave's demos and playing with them. He has the .js and .css all set up so download them and the .html source file and start replacing links to see how it would work.

If you run into problems, post the source -- it's far easier to troubleshoot the html/xhtml and css than JavaScript.

To set it up I read http://www.alistapart.com/stories/taminglists/index.html

It went a little over my head
