Please read completely before rejecting :)
At http://developer.netscape.com/viewsource/smith_menu/smith_menu.html, there is a great DHTML menu script that I would like to use on my site. Numerous trials of trying to use this on my site have failed. Everything I have tried has resulted in either an error or lack of response. I didn't take note of the error messages because they were erroneous, they'd say something about expected characters on line 168 when there is no line 168 at all. I've tried so hard in the last two days that I can't even post properly.
NUMEROUS searches and trials of different menu systems have ALL resulted in great disappointment. It seems that all dropdown menu systems are in the form of menu bars. I simply do not have time to wrestle with positioning of such bars where I want them on my site, so I elected to use an individual link-based menu system. Gary Smith's JS Menu Component is perfect for my site, except I can't get it to work for the life of me. Again, please excuse my "terrible" post -- I've been working at that menu for 8 straight hours with no success.
Has anyone been able to implement this, or something similar on their site? OpenCube has another "exactly what I need" but it costs almost $200 and I am doing this for a non-profit organization's website, so such an investment on a "silly" menu system is out of the question when we don't even have enough money to submit an application for tax-exempt status :rolleyes:
Basically what I am looking for is what DynamicDrive describes as "Dropdown Menu Link" (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/droplink.htm) or "Pop-it menu" (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/popit.htm) except with submenu capabilities. Can anyone please help?
As I said, I have burned myself completely out after 8 hours of wrestling with the first-mentioned script with no success. If my post somehow doesn't meet your "Posting Guidelines", which I'm sure it doesn't, I'd appreciate if you could just ask for clarification and I will provide whatever information I have not yet supplied.
