[thelist] Page Check w/IE 4.x and 5.0

[Richard Bennett]

Hi,
'fraid not.

IE4 gives error:
Line 192
ms4Tag.length is not an object.

And it looks like you are just making life hard when it's not.
Use one <div> for your menubar, with separate items being <a href> tags.
Check-out Jeff's article on how best to use Javascript within the <a href>
tag.
And example of a menu I use is this:

<!-- navigation -->
<div style="width:100%">
     <div class="nav">
          <a href="/grit1.html" title="Main">[&nbsp; Main &nbsp;]</a>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          [&nbsp; Products &nbsp;]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <a href="/technology/index.html" title="Technology">[&nbsp;
Technology &nbsp;]</a>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <a href="/contact/index.html" title="Contact">[&nbsp; Contact
&nbsp;]</a>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <a href="/demo/index.html" title="Demo">[&nbsp; Demos &nbsp;]</a>
     </div>
    <div class="subnav">
        <!-- snip -->
     </div>
</div>

And the stylesheet is:
<style>
div.nav{
     border: solid #DC143C 2px;
     background-color: #F6F6BB;
     padding: .2em;
     padding-top: 0em;
     margin:0;
     margin-left:1em;
     color: #AAAAAA;
     cursor:default;
     font-weight: bold;
     text-align: center;
     width: 100%;
}
div.nav a{
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #DC143C;
}
    div.nav a:hover{
     color: #000080;
}
</style>

Like this the cursor is always correct, and it degrades nicely to all
browsers.

Cheers,
Richard.
