Lao Ming,

I'm sorry I wasn't clearer, I should have said that if you comment out
that code in the existing CSS so it looks like what I posted I think it
will do what you described. Simply adding my code won't accomplish that.
So if you did add my code, please remove it, and then find the two lines
I commented out and comment them out in your page. Apologies for not
being clearer.

Mike

Ironically, only if Javascript is enabled.

Hi Mike,

That worked! Thanks a bunch! And sorry I was a little dense looking
at what you suggested the first time around. I should have understood
what you were getting at.

I can't figure out why purecssmenu.com would desire that feature. It
doesn't seem to have an apparent benefit.

That's a strange requirement for something that claims to be "pure
CSS".

It's the generator that uses Javascript, not the generated menu.
