I've tried a number of dropdown menu scripts, and am having trouble finding one that works well across all browsers.

Anyone have a script they like that will work on IE, Mozilla browsers, Safari and Opera?

Thanks.

Enjoy!

I seem to like the above a bit more from Zopester - less coding & somewhat easier to deal with :)

I my experience, I have found it best to either find a pre-made drop down menu that you are happy with, or learn how to write your own. Modifying someone elses code to meet your tastes or needs can be difficult and time consuming - often you will have to spend a significant amount time to understand it first.

If you decide to write your own, I recommend learning about the DIV tag - maybe find a tutorial on Google. It is a HTML style tag that forms the basis of most drop down menus. The DIV tag allows segments of your web page, such as a sub menu, to be hidden and then shown and hidden again as the mouse moves across it.

Thanks, everyone!

I have tried the Suckerfish dropdown, which breaks in Safari even though it's not supposed to. Too bad; it's a nice, simple, accessible menu.

On the site I'm currently developing, I'm using Project Seven's Dreamweaver extension. It's very nice (though mostly JavaScript) and works on all the browsers I've tried it on except--yep--Safari. I've tried the recommended hacks, and it still "breaks." Safari is the default browser on Macs, and there are enough Mac users out there to matter. Safari is driving me nuts; it's actually a good argument for using IE.

I do know about div and visibility. Now if only all browsers recognized the CSS standards. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/#

Think I'll give udm4 another try. It can't hurt.
