Horizontal drop-down menu?

[RLM2008]

Just a bit more experimenting.

Working on the idea of placing the drop inside a <span>.

Noticed that using a span enabled me to make list items descendants of an <a> tag.

This way I can use an a:hover, which seems to play nicer with older versions of IE.

A viable route?

<ul id="navLinks">
    <li class="first"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
    <li id="gallery">
        <a href="gallery.php">Gallery
            <span id="drop1">
                <ul>
                    <li>
                    <a href="Scenes.php">Prehistoric</a></li><li class="last">
                    <a href="AtoZ.html">Creatures</a>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </span>
        </a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="clients.html">Clients</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
    <li><a href="links.html">Links</a></li>
</ul>

Cheers
