Never heard of it. I'm going to assume it depends on hover events (rather that click events) > It worked sometimes and not others. Is that the norm? - do I have to > redesign? If so, what's the best way? Touch screens and hover effects don't mix well. The iPad tries to guess which hover effects are important and move them to touch events, but it is imperfect. AFAIK, explicitly duplicating the hover events in touch events will give you decent control. That said, using hovers isn't a good idea for triggering menus in the first place. http://www.cennydd.co.uk/2010/end-hover-abuse-now/ sums up the problems quite nicely. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
