right guys, hopefully you're still about and can provide some back-up on this one.
i've taken into consideration and implemented both points, although i have the funny feeling doing both has cancelled each of your much appreciated solutions out. my code is much leaner, cleaner, and valid - so pat yourselves on the back for me. have another look if you'd be so kind (and anyone else that happens to check out this topic tonight) and see if you can think of/suggest a solution to the problem of my secondary nav disappearing before i get the chance to select a link: http://www.personal.leeds.ac.uk/~scs4ll/index.html many thanks, lewis On Sep 6, 12:00 am, ldexterldesign <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > thanks guys, i'll try implementing both of your ideas and get back to > this thread once i have some resolve. > > for anyone that checked my url above - the files have been overwritten > since i received these two responses, so i don't expect anyone to make > much sense of what's there now. > > big up, > lewis > > On Sep 5, 8:11 pm, Renaud <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Just my two cents, but changing your html structure could solve a lot > > of problems, including this one. > > > Imho, each one of you *_set_navigation ul should be children of your > > #primary navigation items, e.g: > > > <li id="home" href="#" alt="Home" title="Home">home</a> > > <ul id="home_set_navigation" class="hide"> > > <li><a id="home_latest" href="latest" alt="Latest news" > > title="Latest news">our latest</a></li> > > <li><a id="home_reviews" href="music_reviews" alt="Music > > reviews" title="Music reviews">reviews</a></li> > > <li><a id="home_listen" href="listen" alt="Listen now!" > > title="Listen now!">listen live!</a></li> > > > <li><a id="home_competitions" href="competition" > > alt="Competitions" title="Competitions">competitions</a></li> > > <li><a id="home_get_involved" href="get_involved" alt="Get > > involved" title="Get involved">get involved</a></li> > > <li><a id="home_calendar" href="calendar" alt="Calendar" > > title="Calendar">calendar</a></li> > > </ul> > > </li> > > > That way hovering over the secondary navigation for this item wont > > 'mouseout' the primary <li>.
