I'm not gonna promise anything...but I'll see what I can do.

The whole javascript thing is kind of new to me...which is why that code was so simple.

Which site are you working on, if I might ask?

I understand but the effort is still greatly appreciated.

You may ask... I'm fixing up a few things on http://www.indianola.k12.ia.us One of which is the menu. The one currently there is kind of bland and also has this bad habit of stil in one place no matter what which was bad because I use CSS and whenever the page was long enough, Firefox added the scroll bar, which realigned the CSS but did not realign the Menu. You'll see it if you travel around to a page like http://www.indianola.k12.ia.us/high/...directions.htm


Anyway, the code in that menu was also fairly bad. When I saw yours I was excited. Simplicity at a school district is a good thing. The only item that yours needs is that submenu (which you'll see if you go to the above website).


I do appreciate your efforts with this. If you can't, just let me know.

Thanks a lot!
--Mike

Hello. I need a drop down menu just like the one on this site up at the top but all in javascript (because my stupid server does not load outside script resources without having it be checked for security, so i need a client side) and all in one html file. Does anyone have a sample script that I can modify and use or show me how? Thanks guys.

The canonical example(s) for menuing in JavaScript are the Suckerfish menus. A simple web search should reveal several sites and variations. Pick the one that best suits you, study the code, make any adaptations as you see fit, and post specific questions if you have them.

Are you refering to the dropdown menu or did you want the breadcrumb liks as well.

If you are just looking for the dropdown menu, the example I attached below can be easily modified.

Suckerfish is also an excellent menu.

Could you provide a little context with your question, #tbone? What "file" are you looking for? Advertisement?

If you're referring to the Suckerfish menus, do a web search for "suckerfish menus".
