RE: [WSG] UDM navigation issues with standards and validity

2005-11-15 Thread Townson, Chris
 I need some information on UDM (http://www.udm4.com/) navigation
 as a web standard navigation. The reason I am looking into this
 is the need to resolve issues with drop-down menus go behind
 select field in IE. As some of us knows that there are
 inherent flaws/problems with IE  Window controls like select
 fields like drop-down list. 
 
 The standard Suckerfish drop-down menu (which I normally use)
 or any other CSS-based menus does not work in this situation.
 Any information or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks in
 advance.

what information are you looking for exactly?

I have used this navigation system and I can tell you:
1. it works - it makes accomodation for IE forms controls which, although
not hugely pretty, does at least side-step the problem of menus disappearing
behind select etc
2. it's standards-compliant and about as accessible as a drop-down menu will
ever be

 although, avoiding drop-down menus altogether is a better solution, IMHO
;D

You have to place an iframe at the same size one z-index layer lower than the menu to fix this: look at the tipfix() script I've done at www.skybet.com, it applies itself to my green tooltip script ttip(). 

Hope this helps,
