For CSS2 compliant browsers you could do that in CSS, as they allow a hover over all elements. For MSIE6 it isn't possible with CSS. To be on the safe side it does make sense to do it with JavaScript (which has nothing to do with Java apart from the name). Your JavaScript does not take event bubbling into consideration and flickers when you hover over the links. You can easily fix that, but that solution is for another mailing list. The other thing you might want to think about is keyboard access. Now there is no chance to reach the content unless you hover over it, which is a bit "old school" in terms of web design IMHO. -- Chris Heilmann Book: http://www.beginningjavascript.com Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
