www.webbuildermag.com menu

[peter]

i'm trying to figure out how to program a menu like the one on http://www.webbuildermag.com.
not the top menu, but the menu on the side. when you click the red triangles,
the menu expands vertically. can someone direct me to the code. i can't get
it off the page because it's in a frame. thanks.

I'm not sure why you think the code is in a frame. I don't see anything on
the page that would indicate that.

That said, if you review the source for the page, you'll find this little
chunk:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="156" valign="TOP" nowrap><A HREF="http://www.devx.com"><IMG
SRC="/images/redesign/devx.gif" WIDTH=156 HEIGHT=163 BORDER=0 ALT=""></A>
<br>
<script language="Javascript" src="includes/newnavie.js"></script></td>
<td valign="TOP">
<table border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><table>

So you can see that below the devx.gif image, they are loading a javascript
from an external file. If you download

http://www.webbuildermag.com/includes/newnavie.js

you can read the code they've used for the side navigation menus and learn
how to do it yourself. I'm glad to know you want to figure out how to
program it yourself, rather than to use DevX's copyrighted code for your own
pages. :-)
