More menu fun

More menu fun

Post by SpiderMonkey »

Here is a website, made the old fashioned way:

http://www.antiquesmagazine.com

I've been asked to work on it, and am considering replacing the thing. I've made a start:

This is the latest in my process of learning to use CSS (I've only done one proper site in it so far)

Firstly, due to the total macness of my office I have no idea what this looks like in IE6. If someone could send a screenshot that would be much appreciated.

Secondly - my version has a disadvantage in that you need to click on the text itself in order to use a menu item, rather than the original in which you could click anyway in the 'box' that lights up when you roll over. Could someone suggest how to resolve this?
