"Drop Down Menus"

Is there any way I can make a 'text' or HTML drop down menu? or side drop down menu thingy? The only ones I found with either:




or DHTML which only works in IE4+ NS6+ which isn't very good.
I don't want to make them in Flash due to loading times, anyother ideas?

thanks in advance.

DHTML isn't JS per say. DHTML describes a set of methods/tools for creating dynamic documents. Those being HTML, CSS, DOM and a scripting language. The scripting language can either be JS or VBscript.
I don't think there is any official definition of DHTML anyway.

I don't like personnal sites I completly remade mine about 5 times in about 3 months :)

Yeah, my site did use rollover menus, but it did have other forms of navigation as well. The site is down at the moment whilst I move hosts and redesign it.

nice site Nimco, didn't your knight-sites website have drop-down menus too?

also, Ben, I don't want to use forms for the drop-down menu, someone mentioned a really good one sometime back (hungry hippos or something) that was what I had in mind.
Also I didn't know DHTML was JS, i'm still pretty sure they're different or they have different functions but i'll take your word for it.

erm, andi, JS is DHTML.

i made a site which uses a dropdown menu for navigation. It's not a particularly good site so no comments please. Feel free to steal the code for it.

Try that.

...ok, i've kinda given up on the idea, I can't find one that works on less than IE4 or NS4 which isn't good although I doubt anyone uses anything less than that.

I found another site with the code...haven't tried it yet.

You got yours from Geocities add-ons DW :-)

The good thing is the way geocities do it isn't too complicated :-)

My site has drop down menu's...so, I'll get the code for you in a sec.
