Drop down nav/menu - help

[GeddyLeeRocks]

Hello All
I am building a website (of course) and my left nav is really long. I would like to build a menu/nav like this one: <No site specifics, thanks. See TOS #13 [WebmasterWorld.com]>

when clicked it drops down a list - the topic clicked collapses the previous and drops down the current list....
Any tutorials/code around for this?

Thanks
R

[Mod note added for clarification: vertical navigation with further vertical drops - not pop outs..]

Welcome to Webmaster World R,
I recently posted a forum topic that does something like this. If you have a grasp on how CSS works this will help you get what you need quickly.

Actually now that I think about it, the version in Message#2 will leave the topics open until you click them again. Here's a thread that will do exactly what you want:

thanks nigassma
I know it can't - probably- be done without javascript, is that true? I am trying to avoid the Active Content warning when using this... is that possible?

I'm 95% positive that you cannot do what you want with only CSS. I don't get the active warning content when I open a site running javascript. (WinXP SP2)

do you have the CSS to go along with this so I can see?

i use a drop down menu program that is designed in CSS JS and html so it can be picked up by search engines. It's also available in vertical format. look for menu samples and the first result will show it on bottom of that page.

Geddy follow the links that I gave you in the previous posts for the js/css for the folding menus.
