Hi all, I'm still very low on the learning curve, so thank you in advance for your patience.
First let me thank eveyone who responded to my earlier (and first) post to the list. I ended up going with the Dreamweaver template feature to do the frames simulation. That's another learning curve to deal with, but it's working so far. Anyway, I'm rebuilding a site that I inherited, and right now I'm stuck on the menu bar. I want a full-width bar with buttons that change background color on hover, with drop-downs on some of the buttons, and I'd rather do it with pure CSS (which I know almost nothing about but am learning fast) rather than java (which I know Absolutely nothing about). I got a great start from Lim Chee Aun at http://phoenity.com/newtedge/horizontal_nav/ and put this together (internal style sheet for your convenience): http://portlandtango.com/exp-9-PTmenu.htm But I need it to work in IE, and it doesn't, and I am totally clueless about any hacks that might fix it. So then I worked with Patrick Griffith's approach at http://alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ and put this together: http://portlandtango.com/exp-10c-PTmenu.htm which worked in IE7 but for all my hair-tearing-out I couldn't figure out how to make it do what I wanted, that is to look like the exp-9-PTmenu version. Any help will be greatly appreciated. A reference to a good tutorial on the fine points of ul and li would be especially helpful as I am spending hours fumbling around doing trial and error without much success, and the tutorials I've found haven't helped. Basically it seems that there are several ways of attacking the problem, and I just get confused as to the function of some of the code. Thanks, J _________________________________________________________________ Peek-a-boo FREE Tricks & Treats for You! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
