Default Helpful advice required. - 04-04-2006 , 04:36 PM






I am helping my uncle build a website and he has asked for a specific menu.
such as the one included in this link.

How has this been done, I hate to ask but could any response be plain and
simple because im not that great at understanding this web building jargon.

Much Appreciation. Thanks

Also, he was going to use paypal. bad idea?

I'd say it's bad code -

<!-- Start Advisor Menu -->
<span id="advisor" style="position:absolute; left:270px; top:27; width:110;
height:100; z-index:10; visibility: hidden">
<table width="120" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>

A <span> tag is an inline tag. As such, it cannot be used to contain
<table> or any other block tags.

Also, that menu makes a mess in a screenreader or when you disable
javascript.

There are better ways.

Check the uberlink and McFly tutorials at PVII
(http://www.projectseven.com/)

and the Navbar tutorial at Thierry's place (http://www.tjkdesign.com)
