Hello,
I am reading and hearing conflicting things on what to use for rollovers. I am interested in what people are using, either Javascript or a: hover or both? And if you write the reason you are using it that would be very helpful.
Thanks,

Well obviously there always the possiblity that people dont have javascript turned on on their browser. This however hardly ever happens in this day and age! Also Javascript could possibly display different across browsers so requires testing.
I think the only time i would ever use a javascript roll over is if i had some images for navigation on a personal portfolio site. I try to avoid using JS hovers on a proffessional site, as i prefer to have my nav as accessible as possible.
If you are producing a website for a client, and its of a professional nature, i would go for text based navigation, with css hovers using the a tag. Its easier to use, and no chance of anyone not being able to view it.
