Gary I am starting to agree with you on some points
Recently I was tasked to build this simple menu in Joomla,
<<attachment: Screen shot 2010-07-29 at 12.50.59 PM.png>>
Instead of images or any other magic trickery,
just a few CSS lines and standard joomla module.
.menuquickie {
border:#c8c4c4 solid 1px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius:5px;
list-style:none;
color:#000;
width:300px;
margin-bottom:0;
}
.menuquickie li {
border-bottom:#c8c4c4 solid 1px;
width:100%;
}
.menuquickie .item3 {
border-bottom:none;
}
.menuquickie .item8 span {
font-weight:bold;
padding:5px;
line-height:200%;
}
.menuquickie li a {
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
padding:10px;
padding-left:25px;
line-height:200%;
}
.menuquickie li a:hover {
color:#ff4f02;
text-decoration:none;
}
.menuquickie li ul li {
display:none;
}
.menuquickie .active {
width:100%;
display:block;
!important
}
.menuquickie li ul li {
padding-left:25px;
border:0px;
}
IN IE, it displays the same, however there are no rounded corners and they are
just square, but if you are using internet explorer you are probably a square
so you get squares.
