I have a menu and I'd like a drop down
Naive Group User
blocks of texts
I'd like to have one of the item to be a dropdown but I can't figure
out how to do that
Someone could offer some hints please,
Also, I prefer my site to be completely javascript-free, (all done in
css alone is definitely possible right ? :-D)
Thank you :D

Google 'CSS dropdown menu'.
This is a nice example:

This just works:
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/
...and does not require javascript to work. It degrades beautifully. You
have the option to 'enhance' it with various javascripty niceties, but you
don't need them.
...and, used properly, validates correctly with (X)HTML and CSS validators.
How's that business plan going? :)

How can something that is obviously a <spit> jQuery </spit> plugin not
require javascript to work, for some yet to be difined value or "work", that
is.
> ...and does not require javascript to work. It degrades beautifully.
Yes, it degrades beautifullly (with javascript disabled) to the original CSS
based dropdown menu that the OP desired. And, IIRC, the OP specified no
javascript.

Yes, we certainly don't need any <spit> jQuery </spit> enhancements, do we.

That's because it's all javascript.

Oh, please.
1) That site has spammed their tutorials to nearly every computer-related
group on Usenet.
2) None of the tutorials are worth a damn.
3) The site is incompetently written and designed. They have *no* business
offering anyone advice about HTML. Running the HTML Validator at
validator.w3.org against the URL you provided shows 93 errors, 36 warnings.
This is *not* the place to go for HTML examples.

The best part of your reply - your example DOES have javascript.
To the OP - you need javascript.
Ed Mullen
The menu on that page does NOT require javascript.
>
> To the OP - you need javascript.
No he does NOT.
Another example:
http://edmullen.net/menu_example.php
No javascript there.

I did not realize this, I saw the thread on alt.html and some responses.

My bad - I meant to reply to the asdf post about superfish, not this
site. And for the superfish example, you need Javascript.
In other words, I experienced Brain Freeze this morning.

Ummm yes, it does. I think I made that perfectly clear.

No. The (X)HTML/CSS portion is correct.
Why can't you read the website and my post?

No you don't. Without javascript, it works beautifully as a "pure" CSS drop
down menu. I've tried it with javascript disabled, and it just works on all
the browsers I have available to me.
The javascript bits are for the various enhancements. You don't need to use
them, so therefore javascript is not required. Quite simple really.
If you don't believe me, go to the page with javascript disabled, and you'll
see it all working just fine.

Actually, there should be no comma between "themselves" and "and" or
"error" and "whilst" and "whilst" is an archaic affectation to boot.

Well, I'll be another year older. Is that your idea of good?
