RE: [PHP] Generating foldout menus in php
I'm looking for a way to generate dropdown/foldout menus (horizontal and vertical) on the fly, but all the javascript solutions I've seen use absolute or relative pixel positioning, which means I can't use them because I don't know at the time of generating a specific menu item how many pixels across or down the preceding items have already used. I'm currently using a javascript menu that works really well, but all the top-level menu items have to be preset with specific x-y pixel coordinates, and all the subsequent items are then relative to the top-level items. So I can generate the second-level and subsequent items on the fly but not the top-level items. Is there a way to use css or dhtml or something else (maybe something in javascript that I missed) to do this? Is this: http://www.phpguru.org/static/dynContext.example.html what you mean? -- Richard Heyes -- Thanks for the reference Richard. dynContext looks pretty good and is similar to what I'm already using, but it looks like it also uses x-y coordinates for the top-level item (looking at the show() function, unless I misunderstood the manual). I had problems making it work on my local machine. The annotated.example.html displayed an error code (I presume) on right click. BTW I stumbled across cssplay in my search and think it may be the solution. Just trying to figure if lack of support for IE5 is a problem or not (supports IE5.5 etc and all other browsers).

This may not be directly php related but I'm hoping that generating the code with PHP will keep it on topic.

Is there a way to use css or dhtml or something else (maybe something in javascript that I missed) to do this? Thanks Arno Arno: There's really no way to do this just using php. I can envision a way to use php with a couple of other languages to provide drop-down and pop-out menus, but that would be more complicated than just using css with js, like so: http://sperling.com/examples/menuh/ http://sperling.com/examples/menuv/ Why complicate your life? Cheers, tedd -- Hi tedd Thanks, that's pretty much what I was looking for. I found something similar at cssplay, except the examples I saw didn't use .htc file. Like your examples the cssplay code only runs on IE5.5 and up (and other browsers). Not sure yet if that would be a problem. I don't have IE5 to test with, so I don't know if there's a graceful fallback that would still allow the user to navigate. As you said, it doesn't look like there's a solution to fit all browsers and versions.
