I'm creating a popout menu for the very first time. Using this line as an example
sitems[0]=["<big><font face='Arial'>Site Menu</font></big>", ""] is the first step to replace sitems with one of my menu options? |

The Pure CSS Menus example on Eric Meyer's css/edge site shows the right basic approach. Start with a list of links. Unfortunately, MSIE doesn't support the CSS required for Eric's pure CSS technique, but there are similar CSS-JavaScript hybrid techniques that work around MSIE's limitations.
When evaluating pop-up menu systems, make sure they start with a list of links. Don't use any like that dynamic drive menu that start with an array of data in JavaScript. Then make sure the list of links remains accessible when JavaScript is disabled/unavailable. Some of them use CSS to hide the nested options, but use JavaScript to unhide them. That fails when JavaScript is disabled/unavailable, but CSS is supported. |
