Wait about 30 secs for the page to load completely and a menu bar will appear at the top of the page, scroll down the page and the bar is always a "header".

Move yr cursor on the bar and dropdown menus appear.

Can anyone tell me how this is done or the software needed.

thanks,

Udon

It's Java Script. You can look at the source here.

Just save the source to your drive and open with a text editor.

Java Script has to be enabled on the user's browser for the menu to work.

Thanks Mike.

If java is not enabled, what happens to the menu bar?

Sorry for the newbie learner questions.

I don't see a <NOSCRIPT> tag for the menu, so I guess nothing would show up (no alternate menu). You could try a learning experiment and disable Java Script on your browser and then look at the page. It uses Java Script for the menu bar, the search box and the counter at the bottom of the page.

I'm sorry, the source code I cited in my original post was just the menu layout, the actual code that runs the menu is here:

It looks like you're free to use it for commercial or non-commercial purposes without any charge. The site where it is available is here:

Thanks, I owe you a beer or 3

I would enjoy that very much. Moving from Saipan (after 26 years) to LOS on April 5th....
