[Bf-webcontent] no more flickering

[Bart Veldhuizen]

Hi Johannes,

I think the biggest difference is that 'our' solution is in principle 
CSS only- no javascript required. Unfortunately, IE breaks that 
compatibility, so I had to insert a few lines of javascript to generate 
the onmouseover events for IE (and for IE only). These mouseovers 
change the li styles to li.over; this class is therefore only used for 
IE.. This is also the reason for using the li:hover: it will force CSS 
to display the submenus. Your solution required javascript on all 
platforms and is therefore another type of solution. Personally, I 
prefer the CSS-only solution. If it wasn't for IE, this would be a 
perfect world :)

However, you are right that we should look at your solution as well, so 
please explain what the advantage of your approach is.

By the way, I'm actually not sure why there is a "#mainmenu ul li 
ul:hover { display: block; }" in there; it doesn't seem to have a 
function.
