Send me your email address and I'll send you the code as a file. or here is the code: var isDOM = (document.getElementById ? true : false); var isIE4 = ((document.all && !isDOM) ? true : false); var isNS4 = (document.layers ? true : false); function getRef(id) { if (isDOM) return document.getElementById(id); if (isIE4) return document.all[id]; if (isNS4) return document.layers[id]; } function getSty(id) { return (isNS4 ? getRef(id) : getRef(id).style); } // Hide timeout. var popTimer = 0; // Array showing highlighted menu items. var litNow = new Array(); function popOver(menuNum, itemNum) { clearTimeout(popTimer); hideAllBut(menuNum); litNow = getTree(menuNum, itemNum); changeCol(litNow, true); targetNum = menu[menuNum][itemNum].target; if (targetNum > 0) { thisX = parseInt(menu[menuNum][0].ref.left) + parseInt(menu[menuNum][itemNum].ref.left); thisY = parseInt(menu[menuNum][0].ref.top) + parseInt(menu[menuNum][itemNum].ref.top); with (menu[targetNum][0].ref) { left = parseInt(thisX + menu[targetNum][0].x); top = parseInt(thisY + menu[targetNum][0].y); visibility = 'visible'; } } } function popOut(menuNum, itemNum) { if ((menuNum == 0) && !menu[menuNum][itemNum].target) hideAllBut(0) else popTimer = setTimeout('hideAllBut(0)', 500); } function getTree(menuNum, itemNum) { // Array index is the menu number.
