    Pull down list in JQuerys

    I am looking into this and wonder if it works with all browsers or not? Or is JQuerys not the correct way to handle pull down list? Please advise me.

    JQuery is one excellent way to make a dropdown menu (assuming that's what you're talking about). It's certainly not the only way. Browsers with JS disabled won't be able to use them, so that's an issue.

    Yes, that what I am talking about and why would anyone want to disabled it? There must be a reason.

    A lot of people disable JS in their browsers. Some consider it an invitation to viruses, Trojans, adware, and other uglies that infest their computers. You're looking at up to 10% of your user audience who keep JS off, so if your menu doesn't work without JS, you're creating an issue you may not want to deal with. But not to worry, there are plenty of CSS-only dropdowns out there.

    Here's Stu Nicholls's take on the subject: Stu Nicholls | CSSplay | A css only dropdown menu further examples (I really like some of these.)

    Steve Gibson's menu: GRC*|*Script-Free Pure-CSS Menu Demo

    And Janko Jovanovic's: Janko At Warp Speed | Create dropdown menus with CSS only

    There are others out there for the Googling.
