Hello Friends:
I have posted the following problem into Java_HowTo section but I don't
get any reply...As such, I would like to re-post the problem here. Hope
will get some reply from, thanks in advance.
----
Does anyone know how to do the drop-down menu when user point to the manu
bar? For example, I have a menu bar contain 3 sections, when the user
point at the 1 section, the drop-down menu will appear and user can select
the choice from the drop-down menu... ah...a very good example, go to
www.microsoft.com, point your mouse to the "Contact Us" section, then the
drop-down menu will appear...got it? can java/ASP do this? How? Please
advise... very urgent !!!
Thanks in advance...

The example at Microsoft is entirely *client-side* - why don't you go to the
Microsoft site and choose "View Source" from your menu in IE?
Cheers

No. I have actually copied all the code from Microsoft and I got error
during the run-time, the menu bar didn't appear either... So, I think it s
not "client-side" script...

It is a client-side script - you also need to download the externally
referenced .js files.
I guarantee that it is client-side script. Just because you can't get it to
work doesn't mean that it is server-side script.

I've actually done this myself, I "stole" the menu functions from the
microsoft site and used them on the intranet at my previous employers. A
word of warning - these functions seemed to have a great deal of unnecessary
complexity built in, which made getting them to work for us extremely
difficult, and resulted in many weeks of work. You would be far better off
either writing your own from scratch, or using one of the samples provided
by the gurus here in a recent conversation thread.
In any case, if you do choose to write them from scratch, I would certainly
recommend building structured arrays which contain all your menu options,
and writing a function that builds the menus from the arrays. This is the
approach that the Microsoft site takes.

do view source on the microsoft home page. Read through it and make a note
of every reference to an external js file. Then simply type the filenames
into the url bar. You should be prompted to open or save the file. Save
it.
