javascript menu systems 2

[bizrat]

This forum was such a great help on my last issue, I thought I would try it again.

The current web systems I work with use many dropdown menus written in JS. They all seem to be from the same source Netscape and later Macromedia (mm_menu, fw_menu, menu). They have many dates - latest 2002/3.

These menuing system are around 14 pages (800+ lines) without setting up the menu. Seems big to me but it does a bunch of stuff.

Is there a newer version or a smaller version that does the same thing? Standardized (configurable) package?

What I want is a package that I can easily configure and implement. I want to see what is currently available and used (pros/cons). Once found, I would like to standardize on it -- what a concept

Apart from writing your own, check out Dynamic Drive:

- they usualyy have a wide selection of cross-browser, cross-platform solutions.

Hope this helps,

These sites list ways to create the menus with CSS and without any JavaScript: (except a little bit in IE, since it lacks some CSS features)
