After trolling through what seems like hundreds of examples and tutorials, I finally found a pretty simple method of applying a dropdown menu. Basically, what I was after was when the mouse hovered over a link from a horizontal menu, a dropdown vertical menu appears. If not for an IE bug, you can pertty much accomplish this with just purely CSS. A little bit of javascript is required. There’s some pretty complex examples out there, but this article, Suckerfish Dropdowns, from A List Apart is by bar the simplest in my opinion. It still uses javascript, and although I don’t quite fully understand what it’s doing (specially the javascript bit) it was pretty easy to apply for my own purposes.
Here’s my sample. Pretty simple, but it works!
