Drop-down menu w/o Java/JavaScript?

[homncruse]

Is this at *ALL* possible? The Java menu we had was causing some problems with some of our users and then they couldn't use the site at all because they couldn't navigate to anywhere! It was a Java drop-down menu, but I was wondering: is there any possible way of having a drop-down menu (my idea was explorer-style, with the + and - buttons possibly) WITHOUT using Java or Javascript? Any other language is fine - the server will support them all, but we're trying to stay away from Java/(Script).

well i guess u could do in VBScript, but i dont know how! There are a few reliable, working Javascript menus...
http://web-nova.com/dhtml/index.asp is what you want, i think it supports the type of menu u want.

Uhm... it isn't about what the server supports. You are wanting to have something happen on the client-side. Make sure you are using Java correctly. Make sure your users have good browsers and have correctly installed the JRE.

If you want to use JavaScript instead, which is in no way whatsoever related to Java, feel free. What you want to do can be accomplished with CSS and a very little bit of JavaScript. I actually like this approach better. Unless your users are using very old or very obscure browsers, they should be just fine.

It can be done using only CSS, but only in good browsers. Very easy in Mozilla and Opera 7, as well as (I think) Safari and Konqueror. IE6 requires either complicated code or some JavaScript.

Look at
