Thanks for pointing that out Mark. The link to the moo version is http://blog.netweblogic.com/demos/ddm/ddm-moo.htm , and I’ve updated the link too.

Actually, I do have a tried and tested MooTools driven DDM which I’ve been meaning to put on here, but I have to make it a little more flexible for distribution. Stay tuned and it’ll be up here soon!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your improvement of the venerable suckerfish menu.

I just wanted to point out that your last paragraph mentions a mootools powered version but it’s link points to the original version.

Any chance you can fix the link? … using mootools gives us the option of adding transitions and time delays on mouseout

Thanks again.
Cheers,
Mark

Is there a way to differently style the first level and sub-levels? I tried to center the text-alignment for the first level but not the second level and beyond. It works fine in FF, but in IE the second-level box is also aligned to the center. I want the second-level box is stay remain in the left position and not got pushed to the right. This is for horizontal menu.

Any hint is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Note: it would be nice if the author of this page try to center the text-alignment on the first level on the example pages.

Thanks for the feedback Jeff. I’ll have a look at that when I can and get that working on the demo too…

I have tested the vertical menu from http://blog.netweblogic.com/demos/ddm/vddm-nomoo.htm on Firefox and IE6. The menu works fine on Firefox but not on IE6. On IE6, the pop-up sub-menu (second-level list) overlaps and covers the main menu (first-level list).

Fortunately, I accidentally found the solution on how to treat this terrible bug. What I did was add one more margin like in the #nav li ul ul rule to the #nav li ul rule. Then, IE6 finally manages to display the menu flawlessly as good as Firefox. However, I don’t know does other browsers support this technique. Someone who have browsers other than IE6 better pay attention.

@Jeff:

Check out http://blog.netweblogic.com/demos/ddm/vddm-nomoo.htm. It’s quite simple and I haven’t tested it on browsers but that’s the general idea to make it vertical.

Quick Explanation : What I did was remove the float:left from the #nav li rule, and added a margin like in the #nav li ul ul rule to the one below it.

I’m totally impressed with your work. So far, it works perfectly in every browsers. Could you make the vertical version? I have a hard time to figure out how to do that as I don’t know much about CSS.

Anyway, you have done a great job. Thanks for publishing such a great article.

LOL, that’s about the only thing I didn’t try! Typical! I did swap round the order of the selectors but left them together - so close and yet so far. Great use of the child selector.

Well done again!
