In a posting here earlier this week David Laakso at Chelsea Creek Studio (http://chelseacreekstudio.com/) recommended checking out the horizontal menu by Tedd Sterling at http://sperling.com/examples/menuh/. I've tried this method before at other sites but always came away confused, or with a menu that just didn't work, but found this one to explain it in a way that I could follow.
I've got it looking pretty much the way I would like it - http://www.ncmhcso.org/sperling/test2.htm, but again I can't seem to get it to function in IE6 on the pc. There must be some setting that I changed, because it's pretty much the same thing that Tedd has in his example which does work in IE6. There's a bit of code in the head section that is specific to working with IE which includes reference to this special file called csshover.htc - <style type="text/css">@import url("menuh.css");</style> <!--[if lt IE 7]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #menuh{float:none;} body{behavior:url(www.ncmhcsc.org/menu/csshover.htc); font-size:100%;} #menuh ul li{float:left; width: 100%;} #menuh a{height:1%;font:bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, sans-serif;} </style> <![endif]--> The part that refers to the csshover file is written by Tedd as body{behavior:url(csshover.htc); font-size:100%;}. I'm pretty sure it works as I've written it, but would appreciate any suggestions. My first goal it to get it to work properly in as many browsers as possible, and then I can work on how it's positioned on the page. It's currently off center and there's too much green under the menu. I'd also like there to be some space between each block, stuff like that. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

By the way, I think that if any bright developer were able to create a menu tool that creates accessible menus that is actually easy to use, they could do pretty well. Back in December I casually agreed to create a drop down menu for my client, and told them I'd charge for 4 hours plus the cost of software. Little did I realize it would take me months to get it figured out :( I've tried more "solutions" and menu programs than you can shake a stick at. The first menu tool I used was the DHTML menu tool by Sothink, which worked great, but I quickly learned that with JavaScript turned off, it was useless. As my client in part represents the disabled, I just couldn't see using it. I spend a lot of time trying to get a menu using Open Cubes Infinite Menu tool. Open Cube seems to be melting down as we speak. They have a great product, but there is very little in the way of instructions for such a powerful tool, and they currently have one very talented but overworked guy doing all the support. To make matters worse, they removed their forum, so if you can't figure it out on your own, you have big trouble. I created a pretty good menu http://www.ncmhcso.org/indextest4.htm but had to give up because I couldn't get it to work with IE6 and IE6 on a Mac.
