howtocreate.co.uk — This uses just CSS 2 to turn nested lists into a working menu and does not use any JavaScript (except in IE 5+ on windows where I use the proprietary DHTML behaviours, because its CSS handling is not good enough to work this menu without script) This works in Mozilla 1+, Netscape 7+, Opera 7+, Safari build 60+, OmniWeb 4.5+, Konqueror 3.2+

@verifex If information is interesting enough then it is suitable for submission IMO. If the content is useful or interesting to enough diggers it will be dugg, otherwise it won't. No big deal either way. jer.williams pointed to a much better site elsewhere in the comments, I've now added his link to my personal bookmarks and will use that as one point of reference for the future. I find that that in and of itself is useful.

Tried something like this a while back at <a class="user" href="http://unangelic.org/stupidlogic/test/.">http://unangelic.org/stupidlogic/test/.</a> A mockup of sorts, haven't had time to perfect the thing yet.

Old news, reported as lame. As far as articles about CSS-based web design go, this is the bottom of the barrel. A List Apart or CSS Play are much more valuable resources, and I cannot believe this crappy tutorial (look at the sh*tty CSS!) made it to the front page of Digg.I'm slowly losing my faith in the Digg community. Don't defend this article as "hey, it was kind of useful...or something". You can find a better CSS navigation tutorial with a quick Google search. That in itself makes this Digg posting worthless.I firmly believe the new Digging system is borked (yes, borked), that or the community has been flooded with uninformed douche-bags who think this content is even worth sharing with millions.Future Digg headline/description: . . . .GOOGLE.COM -- An Amazing Search Engine! . . . .[Reported by Diggers as f*cking stupid] I just found this amazing website that enables . . . .you to search through the content of OTHER websites. What a concept! ROFLWTFBBQ!

well, if that's the case, why is this a big deal? pure css menus have been around for a long time (for all but IE I mean)...

C'mon. How many times do we have to see the same CSS techniques making the rounds? Enough already! This technique is well-known and exploited (in much more exhaustive and creative examples as well).

Whoever wrote the article, I hope they learned some valuable CSS & JavaScript techniques and became a better web designer in the process. However, this is in no way worthy of being on Digg.Why? Because there is already a superior version out there, one which is (also) free and well-documented by its authors. It's called "Suckerfish":<a class="user" href="http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/">http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/</a>Hopefully anyone interested in web design will bookmark that page and refer to it often. There is no need to replicate a perfectly good technique which will probably never be improved (until CSS 3 comes out, perhaps).Please, diggers, do your homework before submitting an article.

Not only that, but when IE7 *is* finally released, it'll still take years for the user base to make a full-tilt shift toward it. IE6, along with all its inherent flaws, will still be here among the masses--haunting us--for a long time to come.

Sometimes, I have a layout that stretches to fit changing text sizes gracefully in any good browser, but upon size changes falls apart in IE (due to a variety of bugs). In these instances, I like to us px as a font size since one of the "peculiarities" of IE is that it can't adjust the font size when specified in px. Using one weakness to counteract another.

It's the functionality the menus offer, not how they look. =P
