You should contact their web department and ask if you can use their menu as an example on your Superfish site. -Original Message- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joel Birch Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 10:34 PM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: [Site Submission]: nbc.com On 10/5/07, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So, superfish can do those large drop-down, across the page menus? > Rick Yes, the types of menu that Superfish can power is is not limited to the few demonstrations I show with the documentation. If you have the CSS skills, you can create new types of menu and have Superfish apply it's functionality to them.

[jQuery] Re: [Site Submission]: nbc.com
So, superfish can do those large drop-down, across the page menus? Those are nice...I've never been a fan of drop-down or fly-out menus because I've noticed too many people having trouble remembering how to drill down to where they saw something. So I've always stuck to the traditional left-column menu. However, I do see a lot of potential in the full-size drop down layer that gives a ton of choices. It limits the drill down to one step, which I think it preferable.

A function err'd on my visit, looks like an uncaught exception, when I went to check it out, I found this comment: // This is a hack for now. The zip->city map for the lookup service // most likely doesn't match the zip->city in the WX XML file. We // we're going to lookup the id in the lookup servcie for the city name so we // have some consistancy. Two issues: First, why they even have comments in production js is mind boggling. Second, if you're going to take the time to add comments to your code and let the whole world see them, why not run over them with a quick check for spelling (servcie & consistancy) or grammar (we're != were). - jake On 10/4/07, Sam Collett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's good that they are using it quite a bit.

It's good that they are using it quite a bit. There are some site that use it, but only $(document).ready to call a function that manipulates the DOM the old fashioned way.
