Does anyone know of any good free menus that are similar to the one shown at the link below. Note clicking the link will display 3 annoying popups so put your popup blocker on.

I'm not sure what the link jamie gave has to do with the menu...I think he's just saying to search javascript.internet.com. Another place to look would be hotscripts.com.
But, I protest. The menu you linked to really stinks. There is absolutely no good reason to use a java applet for navigation. That page took me almost 2 minutes to load (not because of the size, but because I have a slow computer and java applets take forever)
Look for a javascript (NOT Java) solution. What did you like so much about the menu? I did a primitive version of that on tayloredpropertiesonline.com, and an even earlier version of the same script on sharingds.org. If either of these will work for you, I'll send you the code.

Hmm the page loaded fine for me when I was on 56k a few weeks ago, certainally didn't take 2 mins. What I liked about the menu is the way that when you click on a bar it pushes down the bars below it revealing some links. I want something like that for my navigation. I want something similar to that and feel free to recommend any you like even if its not similar to the above.
Will check out those links soon. Thnx!

The links I gave do "push each other down". It would not be hard to adjust them so they have background images instead of background colors.
The reason it took longer for me isn't because of my connection speed...it's because the JVM takes forever to start up on my machine. I'm sure my 2 minute load time is much slower than most people's.
A lot of people go for the "pull down" kind of menus like microsoft.com's. (top right). If you want something like that, there are several free ones available at the sites mentioned previously. I think they're a little heavyweight for my taste, so I created the one linked above, which is very small and very compatible with older browsers (if I do say so myself :-)
Luck,

Yea I like the one at:
tayloredpropertiesonline.com
I would like the code if you don't mind. I would also like to try it with images so if you could give me any info as to how that would be great.!Hmm!

Okay. It will just take a few minutes to take out some of the site-specific stuff and make it a little more usable. It may be small enough to post here. If not, I'll send it your way in an hour or so.

Jamie - I meant the one that is used in tayloredpropertiesonline.com.
I've created a documented, more user-friendly one. Basically you need 3 files: the style sheet (main.css or main-images.css), navBody.js, and navigation.js. I have two versions up right now, One without images and One with images. Don't mind how stupid the one with images looks...I didn't take the time to make an image that fit the words. Also note that the links that are supposed to go to pages don't work. You can remove all the documentation once you understand how it works.
The only difference between the two is the stylesheet they use. You can edit all the colors, background images, background repeating, etc. on through the stylesheet, you should not have to edit the .js files very much at all, unless you want things to happen with the background images when they are hovered over. You would probably have to write a function to make image rollovers, but it wouldn't be that bad.
You can download all the files here.
If you don't know css, now is a good time to learn. Check out the tutorials and stuff at htmlhelp.com
I'll leave the files up in case other people need to use them.
Good luck,
-SN

"you all seem to be a little blind, try reading the text next time "
Which text are you talking about?
"what do ya know, they GIVE you the scripts to make the thing, how much easier can it get?"
Who said anything about it being too complicated to set up? I may be blind, but I believe you're hallucinating. I said I didn't like it because it's a java applet and takes forever for my computer to load, not because it was hard to make.If you have to be condescending, it's usually smarter to do so when you have a valid point. Otherwise it just makes you look silly.

SN thnx for those files, im slowly getting to grips with them, one thing im not sure though is how to add an extra sub category to a menu? Could you tell me if its possible to do so and if so then how and what file I need to edit.
!Hmm!

To add a submenu to an existing menu, all you do is add a link to the menu's array. If you have:
menu2=new Array ("We Sell Houses",1, "white", "0044A9",
'< a href="mypage.htm" class="sidebar">Homes for Sale< /a>');
as one "top" menu with one submenu, you can add another submenu by adding another element to the array:
menu2=new Array ("We Sell Houses",1, "white", "0044A9",
'< a href="mypage.htm" class="sidebar">mypage< /a>',
'< a href="mypage2.htm" class='sidebar'>mypage2< /a>');And that's it! To add a new "top" menu, you create a new array just like the ones that are in there. But you have to remember to add it to the line:
menus=new Array (menu0,menu1,menu2,menu3,menu4,menu5);Let me know if you need more help.
@FBI agent - Yeah, I don't like java applets except when it's absolutely necessary (games, chat, etc.)

OMG I can't believe how close I was.
I copied the bottom submenu of one of the menus and added it at the end of that menu.
Example:'mypage');
So it was just the end bit that was wrong lol, thnx for your help & If I need ne more I will let u know. :)
!Hmm!
