[Sigia-l] implementing DHTML rollover menus and form elements

[Lisa Agustin]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of any good examples of how to implement DHTML rollover
menus (particularly long ones) on pages that contain form elements?  We're
working on a project where the approved design uses a global nav that spans
the width of the page, and each global link will have its own rollover menu,
in some cases with many elements (probably a maximum of 16 for any given
link).  With a traditional vertical menu presentation, this means we'd
likely have to deal with the browser bug that makes form elements "poke
through" any rollover menu that would overlap them.  The client isn't
interested in a technical workaround, so I thought I'd see if anyone has
seen any elegant solutions? We are considering a horizontal treatment of
menu elements that would move into the banner area, but this doesn't strike
me as the best design (or most usable) solution.  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lisa
