I just updated my dodgy test page (apologies for no good documentation or proper demo page... one day) to include select boxes. I implemented the bgiframe plugin and experimented a bit. http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/ 1. Fade animations do not work correctly in IE6 with bgiframe attached, but slides do. 2. There was a lag when hovering li elements that contained a ul (with iframe attached). I have altered the superfish plugin so the defaults are now: var defaults = { hoverClass : "sfHover", delay : 500, animation : {opacity:"show"}, speed : "normal", bgiframe : false }; Notice the new bgiframe property. If you set that to true you must also ensure that the bgiframe is available. Then I altered the "over" function to include this line: .each(function(){ if (o.bgiframe && $.browser.msie){ $(this).bgiframe (); } }) ...after finding the ul children. That made the lag (point "2" above) disappear :) . You inspired that solution with your code earlier, so thanks very much for that! Here's the new code: http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/superfish.js Is this solution okay do you think? The fades still do not work but it seems to degrade acceptably anyway. If you really need an animation for IE6 you could use a fade and a slide (as I have done on the updated test page) so that at least IE6 gets the slide.
