Information

The third menu in this series of dropdown menus that use full png to give a 3D translucent effect to the top level hovers and sub menus.

This one one expands on the previous menu to give a variable width top level links and variable height sub levels.

In this example IE6 has its own special style for the background images which enables it to correctly display the alpha image transparency.

Tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera and Safari (PC)

18th March 2008

Re-testing with IE6 on my PC shows that there may be a loading problem with this browser, or it may just be my PC. Feedback from other IE6 users would be useful.

It looks like the load problems in IE6 were due to incorrectly naming the preload images in the stylesheet.
