Dynamic Menu System Developed
by Kenneth Richards - Wednesday, October 01, 2003
from the Development dept.

As you may have noticed, we have a new javascript menu system at the top of our
page. This may or may not render properly in your browser. Consider it an
experimental module that I am working with right now.

My guess is that about 95% of our visitors will be able to see this menu properly.
A lot of work needs to be done to make a cross-platform cross-browser compatible
dynamic menu. If I get too many complaints about this menu module, I will be
glad to pull it from the site.

I love dynamic menus when they are done right. They allow you to organize
large site navigation elements into one neat little package. They are an
interface that is familiar to practically all computer users (anybody using
a GUI.)

After testing this site under Mozilla I found a lot of issues that I thought
would cause some major problems. I just now downloaded the most recent Mozilla
release candidate (1.5 rc2) and am happy to report that my menu system is working.

Granted it is not perfect, but I think it is usable enough for most people who
visit the site. For others who prefer not to use it, have no fear, I will be
replicating all of the links in the dynamic menu in a site map. This is best
because search engines will have no proble navigating to the pages in your menu.
