While not completely on-topic -- be careful of using red on green or vice versa. The Red/Green color combination is the most standard one that fails for color-blind users. For them it will closely resemble gray on gray. In other words, unusable. A neat little free tool called "Colour Contrast Anal

I have done an expanding submenu -- the CSS determines HOW it will look. The JavaScript implements the action. I wish I could remember right now where I found the solution -- but I believe it was on-line. Search for: expanding menu CSS JavaScript -Original Message- From: dimpie [

I'm familiar with that JavaScript -- we stopped using it quite some time ago. Check that the JS doesn't have something that is directed to specific versions of IE. It could have something also setting the CSS that is causing the problem. If you find something in the JS dealing with CSS, I "think"

I'm not an expert but several things: 1) the CSS does not validate. Several "complaints" but the #rightcol li a:link had "text-decoration is defined multiple times in the same rule" 2) I found the #rightcol li a:link CSS in the CSS 3 times -- the same code #rightcol li a:link { color:#
