There are plenty of resources for dropdown menus on the web.

I'm just not sure what would suit you. Are you putting together a CSS page? are you using a CMS like Drupal? If it's the former, Google gives this: http://www.google.com/search?q=css+dropdown+menus&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t...

Second one on the list:

I'm not sure what resources you have: if you don't have Dreamweaver (I don't, I'm afraid) and you want a WYSIWYG editor, I use Kompozer for throwing a basic design together before I start hand-coding my HTML. http://kompozer.net/ It's free, but it's not perfect.

Thanks David and dave on

David,

This has been something that has concerned me for a while: how do people with scripting turned off in their browsers manage to get around the web nowadays?

Is it worth catering for them?

When I started coding web pages ten years ago I was always careful that I catered for pre HTML4 browsers. I always reckoned that there was bound to be someone using Windows 3 or something whose operating system would not run a reasonably current browser.

Today we are encouraged to adopt CSS and abandon deprecated HTML.

If we are going to ignore people with older browsers (maybe from third world countries and perhaps Eastern Europe), does it make sense to cater explicitly for people that have deliberately, compromised the functionality of their own browsers?

I visit slashdot.org often enough to know that this is regarded as a smart and computer-savvy thing to do, but it does strike me as taking paranoia to extremes.

And I've used browsers without script capabilities like Lynx and Epiphany so I know that the bulk of the 'net is pretty much closed off to them (please don't get me started on flash based sites!) and I feel that there must be a big incentive for these guys to pull their necks out of the sand, smell the coffee and switch on scripting!

You are all set then.

Seriously though, my advice is - don't. For the sake of your visitor's sanity and your own. You'll need to provide a landing page to list the model and year to those visitors that don't have scripting enabled anyway, so it's not worth the effort IMO.

There is a reason that successful sites like Amazon do not use them.
