Hi,

As I suppose everybody knows the JavaScript menus when you roll over a button, a graphical submenu is rolled out (such as the menus in windows).
Now I want to try making one myself since it is a project for school and I can't come up with a ripped version of some menu.

The idea is when a user goes with the cursor over a tablecell, a javascriptmenu is shown.
ie:

<table><tr><td onMouseOver="javascript:show_menu('whatever')">Whatever</td></tr></table>

I can work with JavaScript and I have some experience using little functions, but this is probably gonna be a huge arithmetical and graphical function.

Is there someone who can help me starting to make such a menu?

I'm sorry I'm double posting, but I've forgotten to mention the menu can use some html and images etc.

Why don't you use CSS to generate this type of menu? A full tutorial can found here: http://www.alistapar...cles/dropdowns/

Hmmm its great . I'm gonna try it to implement in my menus. Thanks

Oh dear. Failed JavaScript sucks, doesn't it? Well, the link that I provided uses CSS and not JavaScript, and YES, it will work in Firefox. Internet Explorer has trouble rendering the menus, but the tutorial provided by me and Tyssen will work in both internet explorer and firefox.
