Guest FirefoxRocks Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ok well I have to do something like the navigation located here at http://dhseagles.kpdsb.on.ca. It has things popping out on hover, but the sub-category headers (e.g. Sports, Business, Communications) IS NOT A REAL LINK.I want to make something like this with XHTML and CSS, no JavaScript. I want it to be as semantic and accessible as possible. I have multiple levels of navigation but do not want a pop-up menu/toolbar thing for each one. What is a good method that is effective and accessible that I can implement without JavaScript or PHP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Something like this one maybe? If you need more levels, you'll need to write some additional CSS I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FirefoxRocks Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Actually, I don't want things to fly out. I want to keep it clean and un-verbose, while keeping it consistent and effective. If I had something like a Sports page, or a Business page, it would be a lot easier, but I don't, and I don't have sufficient information to make that page.

Use the expanded version (i.e. with the menus being flied out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you can provide at least a basic idea, someone MAY be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FirefoxRocks Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 All I want is something effective, semantic and accessible. If you think that the CSS example you provided is good enough, then I will try implementing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the source code and the title - no JavaScript, with lists, and uses conditional comments to provide IE6 with :hover support, 3 levels (possible to translate into 4 and more), degrades well without CSS because of the lists - traslates to effective, semantic and accessible.

Guest FirefoxRocks Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Ok I will try the example then. One question: Do you think that the existing navigation is effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
