Sexy DHTML

The trend for DHTML using structural markup and the DOM continues with Using Lists for DHTML Menus. Dave Lindquist uses identical XHTML markup combined with two different sets of JavaScript and CSS to implement both a set of dropdown menus and an expandable, tree style menu. The code is standards compliant and remarkably lightweight (menuExpandable.js weighs in at less than 20 lines) and fully accessible thanks to intelligent use of the accesskey attribute.

More examples of this new-wave style of DHTML can be found in youngpup’s Labels.js: A Re-Introduction to DHTML and Stuart’s excellent aqTree2.

  12. This seems to fall apart in FireFox. Any suggestions?

  13. A modification in this selector: a.actuator { background-color: transparent; color: #000; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px; position: relative; padding: 0px 6px; text-decoration: none; } Seems to work in Netscape 7 and Firefox.

  14. How can you make the menu the top-most level item on the page? I know about z-index, but a Flash element just underneath the menu bar is always on top even if I set the z-index to -1. Are graphic media items always displayed above other browser elements? Thanks.
