menu confusion

[jagguy]

Hi,

I wanted to do a horizontal popout menu. I have the code and it works but I am trying to undertsand it better.
It uses a csshover.htc file which i didn't download but the thing still works fine with a ie sniffer code in it. It doesn't use any javascript which I thought it needed.

There seems a few ways to do expanding menus in css (with/without javascript)?

Menus are more complicated than they look but I would some explanation on the above points before i continue.

The htc file has JavaScript code in it. It's used to make :hover work on more elements than just <a> in IE5-6/Win.

To do it in IE5-6/Win, you have to use JavaScript unless you use an extremely ugly hack that some people seem to like.
