It would have solved the "stay open on hover" problem and made for much cleaner, more semantically meaningful and accessible html IMHO.
Still, really glad to see people trying and succeeding in doing simple web stuff without the need for unnecessary javascript. Good job!

- pc86 8y agoWhat exactly does "semantically meaningful and accessible html" mean?
- tgarv 8y agoHopefully "semantically meaningful" is pretty self-explanatory, it just means using HTML elements in an organized and structured way (like not using a span when you should use a paragraph). "Accessible" means usable by screen readers and potentially other accessibility tools for people with low vision or other disabilities.
- tbolt 8y agoAs an example: Consider using a <div class=“paragraph”> vs using <p>. The <p> tag is semantic and meaningful, whereas the <div> means nothing. A screen reader (or other markup interpreters) can’t tell what a <div> means
- chiefalchemist 8y agoGood point. Perhaps, I would think, Bloomberg's menu does this and he can just "borrow" their semantic + A11Y-centric markup?
- nathancahill 8y agoWow, blast from the past. Still remember implementing that on some of my first websites.
- xab9 8y agoExactly my thoughts. Kids these days :))
