Javascript and Spry Same thing? Or easier?

**colochris** · 01-26-2008, 12:17 AM

Hello,

I am not the best coder at all. With Dreamweaver cs3, I can just add spry framework with a click of a button.

But my problem is I want to be able to have nice drop down menus without active x errors.

I read that Sprys give the error when veiwing on a local pc, but not as bad live. I have no idea how to do Javascript and so I am wondering if anyone would have an idea if one is easier than another that works well with Internet Explorer?

Or maybe a script that I can use? I see many sites that sell scripts or drop down makers, yet I am not sure if they are worth it or not.

Andy idea would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go:

in your css file

Code:

.mL {display:none;}

in a .js file

Code:

function toggleMenu(objID) {
if (!document.getElementById) return;
var ob = document.getElementById(objID).style;
ob.display = (ob.display == 'block')?'none': 'block';
}

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<script src="clmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="clmenu.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> 
</head>
<body>
<a class="pointer" onclick="toggleMenu('menu1')">+ Text to be seen by user</a>
<div id="menu1" class="mL">
Stuff inside
<div>
</body>
</html>

This should work.
