Re: Html drop-down menu in Mozilla/Firefox

Could anyone please tell me how to enable the drop-down menu support for Mozilla/Firefox?

For example, a drop-down menu generated from the following html

The HTML simply describes a number of generic blocks and links (its very poor markup, whomever came up with it should be introduced to the List section of the HTML specification).

For it to be rendered as a drop down menu (and this includes in IE) there will need to be some CSS and JavaScript[1] involved. Most likely you have some JavaScript written to Microsoft's non-standard document object model (the W3C standard DOM has been supported, at least enough for these purposes) since IE 5, which Gecko based browsers don't support.

The nutshell version: Its your code, not Mozilla; you haven't shown us the relevent code; try a web authoring mailing list or newsgroup since this isn't really option for Debian-user.

[1] Technically you don't need JS to turn the snipped HTML into a drop down menu. However, a pure CSS/HTML version will have very poor useability and won't work in IE.
