So my CSS Drop Down post was dugg. Thanks for all the comments. And yes, I understand it’s not compatible with IE6. My goal was just to experiment with a pure CSS menu. If you want to make it work with IE6, your best bet is to use a little javascript. :hover only works on a tags on IE6, so almost any CSS drop down menu solution isn’t going to work without a lot of IE hacking. You check out A List Apart for their work around with DOM-based scripting. Or you can check out CSS Play for a CSS only flyout menu. They have to use a lot of conditional IE hacks though.
<!--[if lte IE 6]> <![endif]-->
I’m sure I’ll be posting some more CSS experiments soon. I’ll make it clear whether they work for IE6 in the future too. And a final note for anyone looking to test on any version of Internet Explorer with their mac, check out ie4osx It’ll all free, just requires X11 and Darwine.
