not sure what you mean. I've clicked on your link and found the same menu as OP is showing.

  No, he's correct. If you click on "Menu", move down to "Markets", and then move right, it stays on the "Markets" submenu on Bloomberg but reverts to "Home" on OP's reimplementation.

  In the Bloomberg JS menu the right hand menu changes when you move up and down, but not when you move 'up and right' or 'down and right' over the left hand menu. You can move to the option you want in the left menu and then move your mouse right to get the option you want without being very accurate. In the CSS version you have to move exactly out of the left hand menu option you want to get to the correct right hand menu. This is a great example of why it sometimes takes a lot of effort to make a good front end UI. Bloomberg's version is considerably friendlier to users.

The original implementation at bloomberg.com is really well-executed, even solving the famous problem that when you accidentally hover another menu item while moving the cursor to the right, you might activate the adjacent menu item. [1] It took VLC ages to get rid of this issue, but it is solved as of VLC 3.0.3 (relevant Qt bug: [2]).
