Hi Ryan!

With regards to the Javascript and Multi-Level Navigation: Ah, you’re right; for the rest of the browsers and versions, the CSS is enough.

With regards to widget cache: Widget cache only works on actual widgets. PHP code not in a widget will not get cached.

Now, you can get around this with Multi-Level Navigation:

1. Add another sidebar in the theme’s functions.php

2. Insert PHP code to include sidebar in the theme’s header.php

3. Add basic CSS styling to the new sidebar’s HTML so it sits across the top of the theme.

4. Install Exec-PHP and put a PHP-enabled text widget in this new sidebar that includes the Multi-Level navigation menu php function.

5. Proceed as normal.

It was a bit too much for me, unfortunately.

Interesting to hear our plugin doesn’t work with the widget cache plugin.

The javascript is only used for IE6 and less or if you want animated dropdowns.

Done. Now I’m on 2.6.3.

I’ll probably keep Theme Test Drive out of the way, deactivated but in the wings. It lets me work with a theme, operating every part, while my users continue to see the old and working theme. WP Theme Preview doesn’t let you do that.

Currently I’m on 2.6.2, but shortly I’ll be using the automatic upgrade to hit 2.6.3. :)

hmm, couple of interesting plugins here. I’ve been looking for a way to re-order the blogroll thanks.

The main reason I removed Theme Driver plugin is because it became redundant with WP 2.6, which added an automatic theme preview on the backend and does a better job of it than the plugin did.
Which version of wordpress are you on?
