Some days, computers are stupidly silly about things.

Today, I've coded in an extension to my taglist that displays it as a CSS driven hierarchical menu in Firefox. In Firefox [and, presumably, other standards-compliant browsers], this is working perfectly.

The CSS is written properly to completely hide this effect from IE, which should instead show the list as nested unordered lists.

Except it doesn't, on my copy of IE. And that is Very Odd, because a check of the compatibility details for the CSS filter I use shows that they hide styles from ALL versions of IE (on Windows), and it works perfectly well for my background images.

I'm working on the theory that my copy of IE is a little bit broken. IE users, please have a look and tell me if the tag list has turned into an unreadable mess of silliness.

Thanks!

Working fine in my IE copy (a 6.0 version). But my, that is some mighty pretty in Firefox! *bows to your mad codz0r skillz*

And also, this exercise reminded me that a) I hate IE with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, and b) I can now read 5-minute Firefly because I am spoiler-free since yesterday, whooo! *grins*

Mine's happy now, too. Turns out that 5.0 was doing things that 5.0 could never do before.

They're pretty simple CSS popup menus; Eric Meyer has a Quite Good™ tutorial on them here.

It's doing the nested list thing with my version of IE (6.0), too. Layout very well-behaved and shiny.

...Dang, I need to download Firefox to my laptop. *mopes*

On the plus side, I went and bought Across the Wall. Yay for another Old Kingdom story!

Two stories! One's Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case, and the other one's an interesting little piece which has to do with necromancers and the Clayr library.

And there's a few other ones, too. Make sure you read The Coin Shower. :)

It's working perfectly fine on mine - I like how you have them categorized.

::clicks on them::

1. Your icon slays me.

2. You'll have to have a look when you get home. They do Special Things. :)

Like that pretty font? ::pets you:: It's a Daphyn-quote.

Ooh, something to look forward to!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Yay for daphyn!

Something indeed. *nods*

Impressive.. again. :P

Thanks. If you'd like, I could track down the S2 code for it and explain the CSS behind it.

I am web coding retarded.

Then that makes things a little bit scary!difficult.
