I haven't seen any Holly Hack [1] in your CSS :-)
You have this:
#nav li.sfhover ul {
border: 1px dashed green;
/* this is necessary for IE/Win \*/
padding-top: 1.2em;
/* end hack */
}
As for hacks, you only have the backslash comment, that hides things from
IE5/Mac. All other browsers read your padding-top.
But only the browsers that get the "sfhover" class, which is applied via
javascript, actually use that rule. And Opera seems to get this since it
understands the Microsoft method attachEvent. You should filter Opera out
(many ways to do this) in order to avoid the javascript to affect it (the js
is only necessary for IE6-)
As an additional note, instead of using that padding you can define
explicitly the top property (top:1.2em) for your absolutely positioned ul (I
think this is better, and you can apply the same value for all browsers.)
