sts most of my visitors use outdated browsers: Sure. I'm not from another planet, and I've heard about Microsoft. The reason why those menus don't work in IE is because it doesn't support :hover on arbitrary elements. When I needed to make an effect like this (not a menu though), I did this: I created class .onhover which was similar to :hover, and an onmouseover event for IE doing something like document.getElementById(idOfElementHovered).className = "onhover" (of course this should be removed onmouseout). It's just a few lines of code, but it solves the problem for most browsers and platforms including smartphones. (And, more importantly, the future versions of browsers). And of course, there should be a fallback option for people with Javascript disabled. At least the top-level menu options should be accessible anyway.

sts Could you provide an example I%20can,%20but%20it%20won't%20work%20in%20any%20version%20if%20IE,%20since%20it's%20a%20hopelessly%20outdated%20browser.%20You%20can%20check%20out%20one%20example%20here:%20%5burl=http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html%5dhttp://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html"] of non-Java drop-down menu with submenus, please? I can, but it won't work in any version if IE, since it's a hopelessly outdated browser. You can check out one example here: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html There are a lot of "cross-browser" JavaScript solutions out there, you can just search Google. I can't give you an advice here because I personally don't like such menus and therefore never use them.

sts Designer should give user the ability to make font size larger Nah, you got it all wrong. You (designer in this case) don't give me the ability, I already have it if I have a capable browser, regardless of your will. As for the "beautiful" navigation, think about this. You are trying to force me to enable Javascript, for example, and I may have reasons not to. There are blind people who won't be able to use screen readers on your site. There are devices other than PCs that might not be able to render Javascript. If this "beauty" is so important to you, you should at least provide fallback options. Concerning the fact that NN or Mozilla don't show your effect, you should only blame yourself (or whatever software you use), not the browsers. They (just like IE5 and Opera) are quite capable of rendering drop-down menus.

sts They don't care you wrote "font-size: 10px;" if you click 'Text Zoom' they zoom everything. That's one of the points of CSS/modern web standards/accessibility/etc/etc. The user should have the ultimate control over the presentation, not the author. If I feel the font size is too small, I should have the ability to make it larger. FYI, there are other browsers out there, and IE isn't even available on platforms other than Windows (there's an ancient piece of code for Mac, but it's just a pain, not a browser). Also, I don't know what kind of statistics you get. Many browser detection scripts will mislead you. They can misidentify Opera as IE or Mozilla, for example. Some scripts even show non-existent Netscape 5. And the last comment. When you say Netscape, what do you mean? NN4? NN7? Those are very different programs having nothing in common except for the name.

The link provided by TCH-Kevin shows that cURL is installed. Is this the case on all servers now? Thanks!

Wow, very impressive response time here! And a pleasing reply. Thanks!

Hi, my hosting provider servers just got hacked, and they lost all their sites, including mine. They also backed up every site daily, but the backups were stored on the same servers, so it didn't help in the end. Do you store backup information on the same servers as well? Thanks!
