spinningjennie -> CSS Vertical Popout menu and IE (10/25/2006 9:00:15) I've made a start on making my 1st vertical pop out menu using CSS, XHTML 1.0 strict, and advice gained from sperling.com. It looks promising, but before I spend any more time on customising it, I thought I'd better check: 1. How much of a worry is it that according to sperling.com 'this technique works for all browsers EXCEPT for IE 5.23 and below. These outdated browsers don't even recognize Microsoft's embedded commands.' 2. If I can avoid using a pop out menu, does this offer advantages? Many thanks for any advice. spinningjennie

jaybee -> RE: CSS Vertical Popout menu and IE (10/25/2006 9:11:49) I wouldn't worry about it. The menu degrades and as it's all css anyone with a browser that can't handle the flyout should just get a plain list. Of more concern is the fact that it doesn't work for people using the tab key to move around the page.

spinningjennie -> RE: CSS Vertical Popout menu and IE (10/25/2006 9:48:07) Thanks Jaybee! I'll get to work on it. I didn't realise people used the tab key to move around the page.

Some people have a trackball but I find those a nightmare to use and I suspect they do as well so they use the tab key instead, just needs a press.
