Hello Eccles! Mmm I love eccles cakes by the way.

I wonder if you could help me (Or anyone else if possible). Sometimes when I surf the interwebs I find something that I quite fancy for my own site. Unfortunately I think Tony has blocked YouTube from your interwebs so I can't show you what I want to duplicate. For those who don't have it blocked I'd love to duplicate the global menu. Freeola have something similiar that they added recently on the MyFreeola page (the floating menu for the go back to: links). I'd like something like that but to only appear when clicked on.

Questions
What magic is doing this. Is it stable on other browsers. Is it easy to impliment and does anyone have any links or homemade scripts they could show me?

A JavaScript menu is far easier to implement than CSS ones, which do tend to have lots of cross-browser issues.

The one used in MyFreeola took very limited tweaking for IE and it works fine in all the browsers we tested (for both PC and Mac).

I'd recommend checking out this site.

Thank you very much Eccles =)

I tried to get the CSS one working and it did fine, but I cant seem to get it working in IE =( So I think I'll do it the old fashion way.

I have a dream, that one day websites with nice features will be accepted by all browsers.

The drop downs in MyFreeola are generated using Javascript. But you can do a similar thing in CSS. Have a good look around that site, it's extremely useful.
A Javascript example that's faily easy to implements is here.
That uses a javascript library called jQuery, which is very compact and easy to use. The setup instruction for that menu are here.

Hope that helps a bit.
