javascript thread: drop down menu

that generates the html and javascript functions to handle displaying
div's and hiding them..etc...

I've used it myself a few times as a way to learn how to create my own
menu.


Look at the javascript code for the menu...somewhere it will be figuring
out how wide the window is, and using that to relatively position the
drop downs.  Maybe you can change the code so it doesn't depend on the
width of the window, but on a hard coded value that could represent the
minimum window width to properly use the menu, (640 or 800)

can you post the code, just wondering why you are doing a HTML drop down
in 
Fireworks ?

Thanks for the help guys....I think i'm gonna go with brainjar.com.  Looks 
simple and effective. But one question though, I've never worked with 
DHTML before so just wanted to know how to modify the code? Do i just 
saved it as an html file and then import it into my html code in a table?

thanks!
