Hello --
I'm a systems administrator, not a Web developer, so please excuse any
naivete'.
I need to set up informational Web pages for users, which meet these
Requirements :
1. Navigational links in a bar(s).
2. When the cursor hovers over a link in a navigational bar, a menu drops
down. This dropdown menu can have submenus, which can also have
submenus, and so on.
3. Does _not_ use frames.
4. When the user makes a selection, the href displays in a portion (<div>>
of the _same_ window as the navigation bar - i.e., the navigation bar
_remains_ on the page when the href content is displayed.
and these desired Features :
A. Uses CSS to the maximum extent possible.
B. Does not use JavaScript. (I don't know JavaScript, & really don't have
the time to learn it).
C. Opensource code
There is a _lot_ of information on navigational bars on the Web. I've spent a
fair number of hours on this, and found some particular code that :
- meets all Requirements, except 4.
- meets Features A and C, but not B.
As for 4., the only way I can get the code in question to not _replace_ the
content of the current window (including the navigation bar) is to use the
"target" attribute of the <a> tag. However, my understanding is that that
attribute is deprecated, so I would like to avoid using it.
As for B., the impression I get is that JavaScript may be needed to meet the
Requirements.
The questions :
1. Can anyone supply pointers to resources that meet the 4 requirements
AND Feature B. ?
2. Can Requirements 3. AND 4. be met, even with using JavaScript ? If so,
can anyone supply pointers to the techniques to be used ?
Thanks very much for any help on this.
