 Document
Requirements
This menu system is restricted to HTML documents running in "quirks"
mode versus "strict" mode. The mode is determined by the doctype
tag which appears first at the top of the html page. With a strict
tag in place the menu will not display correctly. Removing the
doctype tag will switch the page to "quirks" mode allowing the menu to
function properly. For documents which must use the strict setting
try our QuickMenu product which supports both types of doctype tags.
Sample "quirks" doctype...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

What is the
DHTML Web Menu?
This DHTML Web Menu is an industry
first, its smaller, faster, and more customizable than any other menu
available. This is made possible by exploiting all the available
technology of each browser, In fact a completely different ground up
menu was specifically written for each browser.
In Internet Explorer the total code
size of the menu is a ground breaking 6K. If a 6K footprint
doesn't help speed things up then a menu which renders with the HTML
certainly will, there is no onload requirement or additional code to
execute once the page has loaded.
The menu is completely cross browser
compatible with a 100% identical appearance and functionality in all the
major browsers and platforms. Menus on the Mac are typically error
prone, with the web menu you will get 100% similar results between the
PC and Mac, including Safari*
