This menu uses the same small javascript routine as the Professional dropdown #1 menu to add the IE5.x and IE6 styles to the stylesheet and provide the 'hover' function.

All that is necessary is to produce the undordered list of links and the stylesheet for IE7 and Firefox, Opera, Safari etc and leave it to the javascript routine to produce the necessary alternative stylesheet information for IE5.x and IE6 as well as the alternative 'hover' class.

The javascript

stuHover = function() {
 var cssRule;
 var newSelector;
 for (var i=0; i<document.styleSheets.length; i++)
  for (var x=0; x<document.styleSheets[i].rules.length ; x++)
   {
   cssRule = document.styleSheets[i].rules[x];
   if (cssRule.selectorText.indexOf("LI:hover") >= 0)
   {
     newSelector = cssRule.selectorText.replace(/LI:hover/gi, "LI.iehover");
    document.styleSheets[i].addRule(newSelector , cssRule.style.cssText);
   }
  }
 var getElm = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
 for (var i=0; i<getElm.length; i++) {
  getElm[i].onmouseover=function() {
   this.className+=" iehover";
  }
  getElm[i].onmouseout=function() {
   this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" iehover\\b"), "");
  }
 }
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", stuHover);
