only rollover

Apparently my inline dropdown menu is not as original of an idea as I once thought. I came a cross this today, which linked to this. even so, mine is the only one where the submenu appears on rollover. Ha! So there!

Or is that maybe a usability issue thing? I suppose by having the sub-menu not visible, I could be making it inaccessible to some who don't have the ability to hover. Hmmm.

To be honest, one of the reasons I never developed a better looking version was because I couldn't get it to look right unless I did away with the fancy rollover stuff. I guess it just goes to show that there is no such thing as an original idea. Man, this manual editing just to add a post is getting to be a real pain.

inline dropdowns

I came up with this last week. I seem to remember first seeing this effect in some flash sites and then a few DHTML sites. It occurred to me that this might just be possible with xhtml and css only. At least in standards compliant browsers. Sure enough, I was right. After getting it to work I stopped by Russ Weakly'slistamatic2 and found that a few others have done similar things. The difference here is that the second level only appears on rollover. With just a few minor adjustments to the css one could easily have this work the same as the listamatic examples.
