Just a quick update.....
The 'Slashdot Menu' thing was an ongoing pain in many respects that was eventually dumped in favour of tables
styled with CSS. At least the table works in all browsers (at least IE 6, I cannot test anything older than that here) which was definitely NOT true for the SD menu after it received some needed fixes pointed out to me by a friend running *nix and non-FF/Opera browsers.
Finally getting back to adding actual content rather than f**king with an array of stupid menus that all use Javascript.
Not that anyone probably cares, but I did just upload the contents of a JFK tribute LP from 1964 or so.
edit: the table will very likely be replaced with an unordered list helped with CSS and PHP, but the look will not change.
