Yea, this has been mentioned again and again.

i'd suggest boards pop a second version of the menu in:
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html

Is done using only CSS, take a look at the source. Makes it very easy to update and works in all standards complient browsers.

Doesn't work in IE though, but it's fine because it degrades really well.

Implement this kind of menu or other standards compliant menu and it'll be easier to update and will work in browsers in 10 years time.

Also, it means that people browsing boards with text-based browsers or browsers for blind people will actually be able to navigate since the menu is in the source & not generated by javascript

Apple's new browser Safari is based off Konquerer and unsurprisingly has the same problem. Sort this out pleaseeee. That javascript is well dodgy in fairness, surely there's a more standards-based way of doing the menu?

www.aeronautics.ru has a nice Java applet for the menu across the top, it looks well..

Hmm. Konqueror starts the applet in a different window.

I'm not sure how galeon/mozilla deals with boards since I have actually broken my gnome libs by installing mono on this box.

Konqueror 3.0.1 seems a bit flaked out by the javascript here and the java on www.aeronautics.ru.

Typedef : runs off to fix Konqueror's source.

Konqueror has javascript enabled by default, just doesn't enable java by default(due to a lot of distributions not having java out of the box).

I've tried it in IE6, Mozilla 1.3, Opera 7 (Windows) and Safari (Mac OSX 10.2.5). Works fine in all except Safari.

Which is a pity as Safari is easily the grooviest.

Hmm.. it's possible that it isn't a javascript issue, as the menus actually work (they respond to mouse-over and clicks etc more or less correctly for me) it's just that they're drawn on top of each other.

Perhaps some messing about the HTML used to lay out the menus will solve the problem? The new version of Safari is so nyomy - tabbed browsing woot!

For some reason the konqueror issue seems to be to do with the browser identifcation. If you customize Konqueror so it sends an internet explorer identification string to boards.ie (settings>customize konqueror>browser identification, then click on new under site/domain specific identification, type in www.boards.ie and choose Mozilla/4.0 (compatible MSIE 5.5, windows nt 5.0) from the list), the menus will work fine

I tried that earlier with Konqueror 3.1.1a and the menu worked fine.

Could someone try something for me:

Add:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

to the top of the page instead of the existing doctype.

I have a feeling that'll trigger standards mode in Safari & Konqueror by default which 'might' make the page work.

Every page or just a particular page? I don't have any of these browsers with me to start testing anything so I'll need some assistance.

Hey again.

Just mailed the guys who make the drop down menu above.

They said their new version will support konq & safari.

Though I think it's now commercial.
