JavaScript Drop Down Menu

DaveO

Hi All

I have no experience in JavaScript ( only html and ASP ).

I would like to add a Menu ( with multi level drop down sub menu's ) to my
web site.

I have tried using a DHTML Menu Creation program, but find that when loaded
onto a test site, the menu runs slowly.

The buttons are all gif images and they appear to "re-load" every time the
focus changes from 1 menu button to another.

Is there any easy way to create a drop down menu ( either in a horizontal or
vertical format ). I do not need boxes / arrows / etc if it will help speed
things up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
DaveO

Have a look at this:

It may be all you really need - especially if you're good with CSS.

I've only encountered one that I would even consider using (and it would
take quite a lot to get me to use it): http://www.udm4.com/

Its the only one that I've found that solves most of the usability issues
with such menus. It doesn't solve all of them though (e.g. it still
overloads users of browsers which don't support CSS with every option under
the sun), but its better then most.

unobtrusive javascript to handle drop down/fold out menu

I have an old web application I did where browsers with dynamic capabilities received a drop down menu on the top of the page and a fold out on the left hand side of the page and non-dynamic browsers received two static menus. This was done via server side detection of browser capabilities and branching the application. Over time needless to say the capabilities between the dynamic and static sides got seriously out of whack. Now the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
