Any chance that Netsurf could be made to display a nested list,
please?
Many designers seem to like using this feature for menus -- here's an
example: http://stjohns-glastonbury.org.uk
All three of the menu items here (About, Heritage, More...) are meant
to produce a dropdown of several sub-items.
Netsurf users might assume the problem is Javascript, because nothing
seems to happen on clicking the menu. But inspect the HTML source and
you see no Javascript, only nested lists.
As a workaround, I concocted a "Menu-redux" page by saving the source,
deleting most of it, and adding a <base> tag to the head. Now I have
a separate page containing all the menu items as a clickable list:

An outside agency designed this site as a sort-of content-management
thing; I have volunteered locally to coordinate uploading stuff to it.
My Menu-redux workaround is fine for the public-facing site.
However, for the Admin page I have to log in, and URLs for Admin
menu items include a session ID which is different every time.
So it would sure be nice if Netsurf could display those dropdown
nested menus -- which are widely used -- to begin with, rather than
requiring a workaround. I have no idea, though, how much developer
effort that would entail.
