I am about to radically redesign the menu structure on this site, and I was looking round for some inspiration. I wanted to make a drop-down menu system using only css and no javascript, since this will make it theoretically accessible to everyone.

Today I rediscovered the CSSplay site by Stu Nicholls, which I wrote about briefly in May this year.

Stu Nicholls is apparently a man who has spent every waking hour for most of the last decade solving the most arcane cross-browser problems imaginable in css menus. A look at the front page of his site, though, reveals that this is only the tip of a very interesting iceberg. Stu has, in fact, spent the last decade exploring almost every css problem observable by human beings.

Not that he is a professional graphic designer, mind you. He explains this on the front page of the site.

My name is Stuart Nicholls, but known to everyone as just Stu. I am 61 years old, married with two children, work as an electronics design draughtsman and have a passion for computers and photography.

He is merely someone interested in continuous learning. Thank goodness for that, I say. After an hour or so of experimentation I am intending to use the Skeleton Menu as the basis for rebuilding the menus here.

If you need any css menus then I suggest that you start here too. In fact, if you need to get to grips with any aspect of css by looking at some practical examples, then I suggest that you start here.
