Javascript menus: Need help

[Giancarlo]

I tried, and tried, but my webeditor is so damn inflexible. I need some help with creating a java menu like the one microsoft has. I will give you credit if you want to help me out. Take a look at my site: http://www.glomar.net/gc and create the following:

Section Menu (pull down with several sections, and create links to each section on the site)
Contact (no pull down, just a link to my email: gcari@postmark.net)
Forum (keep seperate, link to the rules page on my site)

Everytime, I get one thing wrong... the entire menu thing stops working on me. And my webeditor is trash for this sort of thing. Yes, you have to do this for free, but I will give you credit.

dynamicdrive.com might have what you're looking for.

Or the Microsoft website would work too. Copy and paste...

[Giancarlo]

I am sorry I already tried those, I was wondering if you guys could create me one... (if that is too much to ask for I will have to figure this out myself)

Are u talking about like the one on my Yupapa site?

[Giancarlo]

Please stay out of the design development of my website, Yupapa. I don't want to raise anymore issues.

Can anybody help me out?

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function gotoURL() {
var Current = document.formnavigate.selectnavigate.selectedIndex;
location.href =
document.formnavigate.selectnavigate.options[Current].value;
return false;
}
//-->
</script>

<form name="formnavigate">
<select NAME="selectnavigate">
<option>Where'd you wanna go?</option>
<option VALUE="/news.html">News and Updates</option>
<option VALUE="/links.html">Links</option>
<option VALUE="http://www.slashdot.org">SlashDot</option>
</select>
<input name="submitnavigate" TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Go!" onClick="return gotoURL()"><br>
</form>

[Giancarlo]

What would that one look like?

[keith]

whoops, made the correct chages... originally left the top javascript out...

it'd look like this:

[YUPAPA]

I guess, he wants the microsoft one instead of the drop down menu...

when the arrow points to the text, it will show the menu.

[Giancarlo]

No, that is not what I am talking about.
I am talking about a Navigation bar that probably runs off java or dhtml.

Damn it, STAY OUT OF THIS THREAD!

Keith, thank you anyways... I will have to read the big book instead on Java/dhtml development.

http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/menubar/ This should be what you're looking for.

[Giancarlo]

Thanks, Phrozen, out all of those I am looking at that one for use...

[keith]

that doesn't work in netscape though. it looks horribly disfigured.

[Giancarlo]

Name one that easy to use, it works fine in Internet Explorer. And most people (95% of my visitors) use explorer.

[Giancarlo]

Alright, I just discovered a top menu bar wouldn't work with my layout. I need one that works with frames on the left.

[keith]

a good designer makes his sites universally compliant, no matter what the browser.

[Giancarlo]

Then do you know of a easy-to-use left frame menu that is compatiable with most browsers?

[meow]

Yes, a plain old menu with ordianary links.
FYI MS doesn't use Java.

[Bruce]

No, they use javascript and dhtml.

[niv]

A good layout does not need DHTML. Just clean graphics, the right fonts, and HTML will work.

[Giancarlo]

Alright... I will keep the same design.

[Bruce]

Sure it will work, but it's always nice to spice things up a bit with some dhtml and css.
