I see a dropdown menu in IE 6. You're right though the code does look pretty lean and compliant. I just noticed something too, they're using a class on an end tag. I don't think I've ever seen that.

Hmmm, I wonder why I dont see the menus? I've never seen the class on an end tag either, and I cant imagine that its required for Html 4.01 strict, maybe some anal web master?? :)

I see the drop down menus in IE6 as well, and the little things don't flash in IE6, but they do in FireFox...

the menus are buggy in both though, sometimes when you move from one button to another, the drop down menu stays in the previous button

uh... I got the bug, if you move the mouse from one button to another, but you move it exactly to the little arrow, the drop down menu will stay in the previous button, this behaviour is consistent in both IE and Firefox... I woulndn't say that the site is optimized for Firefox though... catchy line though =oP

yeah, I'm seeing that bug as well, and you're right, the site doesn't appear to be optimized for firefox, for some reason I'm simply not seeing the menus in IE. I tried deleting my internet cache and refreshing, I'm not sure what the issue is, in any case it doesn't really matter a whole lot to me because I use firefox anyways :)

I see a big benefit from a class in an end tag for a div, if it's xhtml valid. I usually add an extra div to hold a footer image but if I can class the end tag, I don't need that extra div anymore.

Ok, I wrote some test code and it doesn't validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. Back to extra divs I guess...sigh.

I hate running into sites that won't work unless you use IE, so it's nice to finally see some sites designed to work with Firefox....
