Drop down menu & image roll over script

Hi,

I have looked into a few menu scripts and image roll over scripts. Just wondering if someone could recommend some good ones they have used for their own site.

Just needs to be simple and compatible with most browsers.

Image Roll Over Script
Drop Down Menu Script

Cheers,

Re: Drop down menu & image roll over script

I've used Son of Suckerfish for a drop down menu - see http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/ for the walkthrough and examples. It's mainly CSS with a little bit of javascript, but it degrades nicely for users without javascript. I don't have a live site to show you though as I'm still working on it (it's not a website so much as a web app).

Can't give you any idea on image rollovers... as I haven't really used them... but it really depends what effect you're trying to achieve? If they're links you could be able to do it easily enough with CSS alone shouldn't you?

Re: Drop down menu & image roll over script

I haven't used Suckerfish (I'm not a fan of drop down menus) nor do I use javascript for rollovers. If your buttons/images are just a simple background you could use CSS:hover on the individual item (text-align: center; set width, etc.). Probably easier in terms of degrading nicely if javascript is missing, that way you'll at least have your images still functioning. I can understand someone turning off Javascript but if CSS is off (or an override is used) I think that's beyond what you need to support for images (I'm thinking of lynx and other browsers that don't have images, don't have JS or CSS support).

Last time I used drop downs of any kind it was the infamous DHTML of ~2002 but for rollovers I tend to give JS a wide berth and just hover things.

X.
