98739 2002-11-15 04:07:00 Does anyone know off a good website or can tell me how to make a good menu system on my website. What i would like to do it create a vertical menu and when you put your mouse over an item it expands horizontally so it exposes more links
ie,
Downloads when you click on it it expands out to Cars, Tracks, Skins, Menus
ie
Downloads -> Cars Tracks Skins Menus

I would like to be able to do this in dhtml or javascript (NOT JAVA as it takes to long to load.) So if anyone has anyhelpful information (bearing in mind that i only know HTML, and a little bit of javascript) could you please reply.

P.S.
My website (Racer V8) is located at

function popMenu(elementId,show,offset) {
var subMenu = document.getElementById(elementId)
if (show) {
if (offset) {
subMenu.style.top = window.event.y
}
subMenu.style.zIndex = 1
}
else {
subMenu.style.zIndex = -1
}
}
Create a stylesheet with this:
.submenu {
z-index: -1;
}
Create you links like this:
<table>
<tr><td>Root Menu (root.html)</td></tr>
</table>
<table onMouseOver="javascript:popMenu('menuEvents',true);" onMouseOut="javascript:popMenu('menuEvents',false);">
<tr><td>Item 1 (PopupMenuItem1.html)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Item 2 (PopupMenuItem2.html)</td></tr>
</table>
Create additional tables for each root menu. 		antmannz (28)
98742 2002-11-15 06:20:00 Hmmm ... that probably doesn't make much sense with all those smilies.

Take a look here (crash.ihug.co.nz) for popup menu type links. Choose View Source in your browser to grab the link html code. There's a few extra bits and pieces in there, post back here if you need any more help :) 		antmannz (28)

98748 2002-11-16 06:15:00 Swish is cheaper and easier to use than MX, but Flash is still dah bomb though.

Vk_Dre thanks for recommendation for Bryce 5 (3 weeks ago)
