Can anyone recommend a decent php navigation menu system, one that can click and expand up and down etc (similar to explorer in windows). I know there are heaps of js tools for this, but i'd prefer to avoid js and use php if possible (coz ultimately it looks just like html)
Or, if you think js is better applied for this use, tell me and I'll stop searching for a php tool.
I've searched the web for a while to no avail (had a couple of tools that didn't work out) so really look forward to hearing any replies. thanks

I think you'll have a hard time finding a php menu like this. PHP operates server side, not client side. That means that you have to send a request to the server before you see the results. You want to refresh the page before you show every menu option?

But... php could still be used, if your menu happens to be database driven. You could make use of AJAX. Basically, you client side (the browser) is handled by javascript, which also makes calls to the database.

Your best bet, IMO, is javascript... maybe DHTML.
