    For people with Vista - alternative to CSS for dropdowns?

    So....I'm officially giving up on CSS for this (damn thing wont work on IE Vista), what do you reckon is the most reliable alternative to doing a pure CSS dropdown menu;

    a) Javascript?
    b) DHTML?
    c) Crack open dreamweaver for the first time in 2 years and see what crappy code it can come up with!

    cheers!

    Pull a conditional and if it sees IE7 use CSS(2?) based or Flash based dropdowns perhaps - I know, IE7 on WinXP renders differently than IE7 on Vista.

    Strict CSS should work without issues. Just no hacks.

    For a cheap way out you could make a flash movie tall enough to accommodate your tallest open menu. Then style the next element with a negative margin. You can't put any clickable content in the overlapping space but it works.

    Jaquan just clicked on your footer and interesting how close bidhandler.com looks to FK even the colors.

    Is that part of your portfolio?

    I actually did that layout before I was hanging out at FK a lot.
