OK, this will NEVER be totally valid but here goes. 5 CSS “Hacks” to Help You Stop Using Images.

I put this here because it was probably the least amount of code I’ve seen deployed for some of these menus.  Granted it requires jQuery, the Interface Elements plug-in and the hoverIntent plug-in.  *shrugs*

jQuery simple menu with slide-in effect

OK, the above link is still valid but I linked to the wrong one (and subsequently explained the wrong one). I knew something was up when I started blogging about how compact this example was and then I had to read 3 or 4 pages of code along with grabbing 3 separate downloads.

I wasn’t sure what to call this one but this site has a random array of varied goodies in CSS, PHP, HTTP and IE-specific problems.

Don’t ask me which one came first, just know that I found them in this order:

1. LavaLamp for jQuery lovers!
2. YUI Lava Lamp Menu
3. CSS+Javascript[sic] power. Fancy menu

And I’ve no clue how I found #3 after #2 considering it was directly linked from #1.  Catch all that?

Just a personal preference, I don’t directly link commercial stuff unless I am getting affiliate kickbacks.

So, here’s another, um, link?

If using Firefox and you notice that your CSS layouts, menus, et cetera are causing problems try disabling NoScript.

I noticed while designing the new face of Totally Blended (currently not my design) that I was getting duplicated menus.  Disabling NoScript was the only thing that got rid of the extra menu.

The funny thing was it only did it on a live server not locally.  That tells me that it activated something once it had a URL that started with “http://” as opposed to “file:///”.

*shrug*

EDIT:  Actually, it appears all you need to do is whitelist the site.  Although, I’ve still no clue why it happens as I’ve not yet looked into it.

As abrasive as he can sometimes be, Jukka Korpela is a very bright and talented web standards aficionado.

I must say I don’t even fully grasp how he worded that response, but I believe I get the message.

Designing layouts with tables can easily be modified for a clean semantic standards-based web.

Structural tables don’t need to rely on an alternative CSS equivalent when those attributes are perfectly suited for laying out a structured (tabular) document.

Or something like that…
