Automatic menus are annoying
-
Say my mouse is at the top of the Technical Blog page. I want to click the "Blog Articles" link. As I move my mouse down, it passes over the "Features" menu, the menu automatically drops down and covers the link I wanted to click. Not cool at all.

That reminds me of a snowball fight I had where I lobbed snowballs over a car thinking I was pounding a mate into oblivion, only to see him standing someway apart from the car. The husband of the poor 70 year old woman who had been cowering behind the car and was now comprehensively snowballed said to me "Not cool. Not cool at all". I felt terrible. In this case, though, I will look to see how tricky it will be add a small delay on the dropdowns. They are purely CSS driven, no javascript, but anything's possible, right?

>> I felt terrible. For beating up an old lady? Your emotional reaction was appropriate. :doh: At first I didn't like your suggestion....if I want a menu to expand, I'll click the damn thing. But after some thought, if I paused on a menu to click it and it opened automatically so I didn't have to click it...well that might be pretty cool!

Pure CSS is lighter and "cleaner", but hover intent[^] is pretty cool too.
