Sleek Pointer Menu 2

Author: Dynamic Drive

This is an alternate version of the original Sleek Pointer Menu, one with a more trimmed down interface and with an arrow background that appears only when the mouse moves over a menu item. Inspired by the menu on Lealea.

Demo:

The three images used (last image resized for easier download):

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

#pointermenu2{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#pointermenu2 ul{
margin: 0;
margin-left: 15px; /*menu offset from left edge of window*/
float: left;
padding-left: 8px;
font: bold 13px Verdana;
background: #c00000 url(media/leftround2.gif) bottom left no-repeat; /*optional left round corner*/
}

* html #pointermenu2 ul{ /*IE6 only rule. Decrease ul left margin and add 1em bottom margin*/
margin-bottom: 1em;
margin-left: 7px; /*menu offset from left edge of window in IE*/
}

#pointermenu2 ul li{
display: inline;
}
