Javascript Menu

Hi,

Recently I was given the task to look into creating a javascript menu. My delema is I don't know exactly where to start. I need to create a menu for a website. The optimal type of menu needs to be a menu that popup on the screen just under some letter that you move your mouse over. An excelent example would be the one on the upper right hand side of the Microsoft site. This script also needs to be a javascript. If anyone has any advice, or know of an example please resond.

Thanks
Jeremy :)

What does the browser compatibility have to be? I am working on a similar menu now, and am following the CSS standards...but then, it only works in IE and NS6.

CSS makes it a lot easier

if I am not mistaken that is a DHTML menu. why don't you just take that one you saw or go to www.dynamicdrive.com

I think it would be better if you can use DHTML. just my .02 though

Here you go... I have a menu system you can use... It is like the menu system on microsofts website.... Would you like me to put up all the JS files?

look at the menu on http://www.brainjar.com

it follows the standards ;)

Thanks to all the people who posted a reply. Your input was extremely helpful. After looking at the examples that where given and staying up until 4:30 am looking the web over i was finally able to find an example that will do what I want.

I do have one other question. How can you find out the width of a window/page and a table on a page.

Thanks
Jeremy
