you can't do that in PHP. PHP is server side, what you are looking at is all done on the client, so it would have to be done in javascript or vbscript. I would recommend javascript. this looks like the code for that menu:
http://vbstyles.com/forum/clientscri...lletin_menu.js it's in an external js file. Anyways, as for getting something like that, it's hard to write for an amatuer. Check out DynamicDrive.com, thats where I alwasy go when I need javascript. |

always unnecessarily bloated and complex; so implementation and maintenance are very hard for an amateur. Anyway, this is a JS issue, not PHP. It's pretty simple too. All you need is a hidden <div> on your page that you can display onclick or onmouseover or whatever. Google is the answer, not DD...  --47.

I can agree with most of that. I don't think its hard to implement a script from DD, and there not always bloated. But it has been a long time since I've done javascript. Those google results are good though. |

Well, it IS the javascript forum; a link with a PHP extension doesn't mean he's asking to DO it in PHP....
