[OT] Browser compatability

[Paul King]

I was at http://www.jslint.com/ and entering some of this code. After
correcting some syntax (no semicolon), I pasted the snippet into its
debugger, and it said that I should avoid HTML event handlers
altogether. It explains why some browsers support it and others don't.
That leaves only CSS menus, I suppose.

Thanks for your help
