Hey all,

New to these forums. I've been a member of many a forum and many deisgn forums. Normally I would probably take my question to SPF, but I hate those guys..effing nazis. That being said...

heres my question:

I want to make a navigation system like an outline. You've seen them before, basically you start with, say roman numeral I. Consulting services. Next to it there is a little plus sign in a box, you click the box, and Boom...Product expertise, General Expertise, and Industry Practices or some such appears below slightly aligned to the right a few spaces...You can click further down the outline if necessary, and eventually it will link to an outside page.

It would be the most simple form of content navigation, no flashy menus no effects, just text drilldowns and links to urls.

What would be best to code this in for compatibility, speed, and ease of customization?

I would provide an example except I cant find one right now. Seems its so simple no one uses this much anymore, now everyone has flashy dropdown or popupmenus.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about I would appreciate any info, even if you could show us an example so someone else could help me with code.

AWESOME, thanks! I hope to recieve some great answers!

-Malcolm

After browsing around a bit, it seems it would be very do-able in CSS.

Question is, how? It seems like it would be fairly simple, but I am an uber n00b with CSS.

They are called "tree menus", very simple to put together using DHTML (javascript + CSS). I have one on Blooberi (without images) but it is simple enough to add them. Javascript is in the page and sometime I'll be adding the code to my site.

Or there is one here
