website design question

[asleepathewheel]

Can someone point me in the direction of recent java or html etc sites that could help me build a vertical menu that expands rightwards upon mousing over? I'm not even sure what the term for that would be, hence my googling has thus far been a failed endeavor.

I'm playing around with a pbwiki for my office. quite fun, but I'd like to make it look a bit more than a rag-tag series of links straight out of 1995.

Google for javascript flyout menu.

ah, exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks

If you really don't want to be 1995 then don't use jscript (well, a little because IE6 sucks), use CSS.

yeah, I'm working up to that. I've been poking around css a little bit, but wanted to see what I could do with java first.

Java != JavaScript.

There's always one, isn't there.

Sorry, this early in the morning, I can be a bit pedantic.

Thanks for the helpful post, jackass

You're welcome.

But see, you'd already found what you were lookin' for, so I figured I really couldn't be that helpful.

Buck up, old chap. Even Al Gore was a n00b at web design once!

And, since you already know how to code a bit, I'd say you're a bit ahead of him even now!

Ain't that the inconvenient truth? The inventor of the internet can't code a page!

Pure CSS popout menu

CSS/edge

Is this the kind of thing you're talking about?

html/css looks like there is javascript after all :P

[asleepathewheel]

yes, that is exactly what I was talking about
