[Richard Ashbery]

Is there anyway of showing Javascript driven drop down menus?

Are you certain they are JavaScript?

I have never been able to get CSS-only drop-down menus to work in NS.

Unscientific guesswork I'm afraid.

Pity. Thanks for getting back Tim.

Nor I. Typical is the "Results" tab in www.wodql.org.uk which behaves as expected when viewed in all other browsers I've tried; similarly the overflow of the last menu item, which could be related, is peculiar to NS.

JavaScript-driven and CSS-driven dynamic content are not supported in NetSurf's
render engine at this time.

Try inspecting the code of the site (in Netsurf press F8) in a text
editor. Search for a unique-ish word that is used in one of the
menus.

You might find a bunch of <li> stuff matching all the menu words to a
specific URL within the site, including the menu words that would
appear as a drop-down in the mainstream browsers.

I recently found this to be the case in one site I use a lot, so I
concocted myself a little "menu-bypass.html" page that takes me direct
to any page I want.

Archive?)
