Thanks for that fine example :-)

But..., I have some problems with this page :-(

First the colors are very dark on my screen, the dropdown menu is
unreadable (black on blacker ;-)
When I disable colors, the menu becomes transparent, mixing up with the
remaining content. I would like to leave the brightness and contrast as
is, but since I have the same problem with other pages, what would I
have to adjust, in order to make the dark text stand out from dark
background?

Another one, just tested with Mozilla and Firefox:
The "Narrow" dropdown menu is painted behind the "pure css popups", one
menu entry is almost hidden, and when I move the mouse down and hit that
other element, the menu collapses immediately. There's only little room
at the right of the menu, where I can navigate to the menu entries below.


When I want to add the same menu to multiple pages, I assume that I can
put much into a common CSS. But when some entries, like back/forward
links, must refer to different pages in each document, how must I split
the code between the common CSS and the page itself?

TIA
