Information
Another Definition List menu to add to the growing list. This one has a vertical 'sliding' effect where the sublevels appear in between the top level links pushing them apart to make room. It does require that all the sub levels have the same height as the largest sublevel in order that the top levels are all selectable whether moving down or up through the top level list.
Again it works in IE6, IE7, Opera 8.5, Opera 9, Firefox 2, Mozilla and Netscape etc. IE5.x will see the top level links only. IE5.5 almost works but this crashes my standalone version so I have added IE5.x hacks so that it does not see the dropdown sublevel. If you want to try it on a full version of IE5.5 then remove the * html at the beginning of the two lines and remove the backslash hack from the two styles.
