Multi level navigation bar

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 17.2006

I have a javascript that creates a horizonal multi drop down level navigation. Was told on the other forum that the actual html code that creates a similar looking menu bar should be put into a noscript tag for those with javascript disabled- ok- however I am looking for examples and cannot find any.

each horizontal bar menu can drop down multiple levels (vertically)- is there example html code somewhere? to show how to do the drop down levels using html? Some good late night reading links?

Thanks

@BytesMay 17.2006 — Consider giving this a look for what I believe you descibed

Place this CSS script in the <HEAD>

[CODE]BODY

}[/CODE]Place this JavaScipt script also in the <HEAD>:

[CODE] function InitMenu()
{
var bar = menuBar.children

for(var i=0;i < bar.length;i++)
{
var menu=eval(bar[i].menu)
menu.style.visibility = "hidden"
bar[i].onmouseover = new Function("ShowMenu("+bar[i].id+")")
var Items = menu.children
for(var j=0; j<Items.length; j++)
{
var menuItem = eval(Items[j].id)

if(menuItem.menu != null)
{
menuItem.innerHTML += "<Span Id="+menuItem.id+"_Arrow class='Arrow'>4</Span>"
//var tmp = eval(menuItem.id+"_Arrow")
// tmp.style.pixelLeft = menu.getBoundingClientRect().Right //- tmp.offsetWidth - 15
FindSubMenu(menuItem.menu)}

if(menuItem.cmd != null)
{
menuItem.onclick = new Function("Do("+menuItem.id+")") }

menuItem.onmouseover = new Function("highlight("+Items[j].id+")")

}

}

function FindSubMenu(subMenu)

FindSubMenu(menuItem.menu)
}

if(menuItem.cmd != null)
{
menuItem.onclick = new Function("Do("+menuItem.id+")") }

menuItem.onmouseover = new Function("highlight("+Items[j].id+")")

}
}
function ShowMenu(obj)
{
HideMenu(menuBar)
var menu = eval(obj.menu)
var bar = eval(obj.id)
bar.className="barOver"
menu.style.visibility = "visible"
menu.style.pixelTop = obj.getBoundingClientRect().top + obj.offsetHeight + Bdy.scrollTop
menu.style.pixelLeft = obj.getBoundingClientRect().left + Bdy.scrollLeft
}

function highlight(obj)
{
var PElement = eval(obj.parentElement.id)
if(PElement.hasChildNodes() == true)
{ var Elements = PElement.children
for(var i=0;i<Elements.length;i++)
{
TE = eval(Elements[i].id)
TE.className = "menuItem"
}
}
obj.className="ItemMouseOver"
window.defaultStatus = obj.title
ShowSubMenu(obj)
}

function Do(obj)
{
var cmd = eval(obj).cmd
window.navigate(cmd)

}

function HideMenu(obj)
{
if(obj.hasChildNodes()==true)
{

var child = obj.children

for(var j =0;j<child.length;j++)
{
if (child[j].className=="barOver")
{var bar = eval(child[j].id)
bar.className="Bar"}

if(child[j].menu != null)
{

}
}

}
}
function ShowSubMenu(obj)
{

HideMenu(PMenu)
if(obj.menu != null)
{
var menu = eval(obj.menu)
menu.style.visibility = "visible"
menu.style.pixelTop = obj.getBoundingClientRect().top + Bdy.scrollTop
menu.style.pixelLeft = obj.getBoundingClientRect().right + Bdy.scrollLeft
if(menu.getBoundingClientRect().right > window.screen.availWidth )
menu.style.pixelLeft = obj.getBoundingClientRect().left - menu.offsetWidth
}
} [/CODE]And finally this code in your <BODY>:

@clpauthorMay 17.2006 — I guess I am confused. I have a similar script. How does the script below work if someone has disabled javascript on their client?

Thanks
