tab popup sub-menu

[msandersen]

I'm new to java...

I have this script, to pop up a sub-menu with links when the user rolls the mouse over the first tier menu links. But the layout of the site i'm working on has the navigation menu in a table, with each menu item in a seperate cell, and then the sub-menus would pop up in a different cell, spaning below the menu cels.

Is it possible to adjust the script for that? or do i need to create seperate scripts for each menu item???

Here is the code i have now:

<a href="home.html" onMouseover="showit(0)">Home Image</a><a href="about.html" onMouseover="showit(1)">About Image</a><a href="gallery.html" onMouseover="showit(2)">Gallery Image</a><a href="library.html" onMouseover="showit(3)">Library Image</a><a href="links.html" onMouseover="showit(4)">Links Image</a><a href="contact.html" onMouseover="showit(5)">Contact Image</a><br>

<ilayer width=600 height=16 name="dep1" bgColor="#FFFFFF">
<layer name="dep2" width=400 height=32>
</layer>
</ilayer>
<div id="describe" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;width:400px;height:32px" onMouseover="clear_delayhide()" onMouseout="resetit(event)"></div>


<script language="JavaScript1.2">

var submenu=new Array()

//Set submenu contents. Expand as needed. For each content, make sure everything exists on ONE LINE. Otherwise, there will be JS errors.

submenu[0]='<font size="2" face="Verdana"><b><a href="home.html">Home</a> | <a href="updates.html">Updates</a> | <a href="sitemap.html">Site Map</a> | <a href="copyright.html">Copyright Info</a></b></font>'

//Set delay before submenu disappears after mouse moves out of it (in milliseconds)
var delay_hide=500

var menuobj=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("describe") : document.all? document.all.describe : document.layers? document.dep1.document.dep2 : ""

function showit(which){
clear_delayhide()
thecontent=(which==-1)? "" : submenu[which]
if (document.getElementById||document.all)
menuobj.innerHTML=thecontent
else if (document.layers){
menuobj.document.write(thecontent)
menuobj.document.close()
}
}

function resetit(e){
if (document.all&&!menuobj.contains(e.toElement))
delayhide=setTimeout("showit(-1)",delay_hide)
else if (document.getElementById&&e.currentTarget!= e.relatedTarget&& !contains_ns6(e.currentTarget, e.relatedTarget))
delayhide=setTimeout("showit(-1)",delay_hide)
}

function clear_delayhide(){
if (window.delayhide)
clearTimeout(delayhide)
}

function contains_ns6(a, b) {
while (b.parentNode)
if ((b = b.parentNode) == a)
return true;
return false;
}

</script>

And you can see the basic page layout of the site here: http://www.geocities.com/kythca/index2.html

Is this possible??? Thanks!

Well, nevermind... I messed with it a bit and figured it out for myself...

Is there a way to delete threads????
