Menu Bar

Post by Johnm »

Hi All,
Does anyone have/know of any scripts that create a menu bar at the top of the clients screen? Something along the lines of the browsers menu bar is what I had in mind.


Thanks,
Direwolf

PHP is server-side so it can't interact with the users browser. If that's what you're looking for try Javascript instead.

If you mean drop down lists of information within the web page then again your best bet is Javascript DHTML stuff, although PHP can help generate the values of options in the menu it can't do anything client-side itself.

Try hotscripts.com they seem to have tons of menu scripts.

If I've completely misunderstood what you're looking for I'm sorry and could probably help better with a bit more info.

No, you understand clearly, the reference to the browsers menubar was meant as an example of the style I was looking for. I will check out the site you recommended.
I have downloaded quite a few of these only to find that they either don't work in both IE and NS or just do not work well.
Thanks,

the IE's menubar is off limits for (d)html and javascript (hope so at least, who knows the bugs ;) ) You may at favorites on user confirmation or store personalization data. But to add toolbars or similar you have to access the IE's (or WebBrowser) COM interface.

That is way out of the scope of what I want to do. Said menu would be part of the page, not the browser. I want it to stay at the top of the
page(s), to have sub menus etc. Interacting with the browser would not be necessary.

Thanks,
