Using the 'visibility' property instead of using the 'display' property avoided a bug in some versions of Safari. (The bug is pretty where esoteric: The browser ignored the 'hover' property on 'li' objects inside an object whose display property was set to 'none' when the page loaded...) Using the 'visibility' property instead of 'display' would normaly take up extra room on the page, but that's avoided here by putting the submenu on a second layer: see 'position: absolute' and 'z-index: 2' in .submenu definition, higher up this page. */ .submenu a { display: block; color: #eee; background-color: #666633; width: 146px; /* This should be width of .submenu above minus right-side padding on next line */ padding: 5px 0px 4px 20px; text-decoration: none; background-color: #666633; border-bottom: #447755 dotted 1px; border-top: 0; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; } ul { position: relative; display: block; } li { position: relative; display: block; } .submenubox { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } .submenubox ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; list-style-type: none; } .submenubox ul li { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } .submenubox ul li a:link { } .submenubox ul li a:visited { } .submenubox ul li a:hover { color: #c6e8e2; /* text color for submenu items */ background-color: #447755; border-bottom: #447755 dotted 1px; }
