Lord Martimus: Dark Master of the Evil Kingdom of CSS Dropdown Menus
I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the site of one my co-workers, Marty, who’s definitely fighting the good fight on the CSS “DHTML” dropdown menu battlefield.
The bitch (see, these things make me curse. They’re surely evil!) of it all is that he has worked tirelessly for the better part of a week trying, laboring even, to get these damn (There I go again.) leeches on the peckers (oh my!) of all web developers to work consistently (as much is possible) across all major browsers and platforms. Macintosh users have at least nine browsers to choose from. Granted, we don’t test in all of them, but it gives you an idea of the magnitude of the task.
And to say that Mr. Marty has spent a lot of time wrestling with these pocks on the faces of all web sites is not to diminish the man’s talent. He’s not just a smart guy; he’s pure heart. Without that, these zits on the noses of all web users would have beat him down long ago.
So, props to you, Marty. Death to you, dropdown menus. (I can’t come up with another silly metaphor. Sorry.)
