Expanding menu

Powered by database

[eggy ricardo]

Hiya,

I have learnt PHP and MySQL from varying books and have created a few sites using these.

The site i am currently working on requires a menu, which, when the user clicks on an item, a list of sub-items are displayed. The menu would be database powered

I know have ideas on how to do this with my existing knowledge but that would require re-loading the page which i fear could be a waste of resources. I have searched WW and read a few post saying to use javascript for this, but as i know almost no javascript, i would need a little more guidance.

Can you please suggest which would be the best way to do this.

Cheers
Richard

the only thing I can suggest is javascript.
try dynamicdrive.com or search for javascript menu in google.

You can google for 'suckerfish dropdown' for 1-level css (and a tiny bit of js) or 'sons of suckerfish dropdown' for multi-level. I'd start with the single level, multiple-level can cause user frustration.
