DHTML menus
I've been toying with the idea of using DHTML menus for my website. The only problem is that I can seem to get the layer visiblity to behave.
On the menu link, I have a onMouseOver event that successfully shows the menu layer. The problem is how to make it disappear in the way that one would expect. I thought a onMouseOut event on the menu layer to hide itself would be sufficient, but the layer seems to as soon as it's visible.
I've done several google searches for examples, but most seem to have too much complexity -- seemingly meaningless layers, use of Dreamweavers Timeline mechanism. Is there some point I'm missing with this whole effot? Does anyone have some solid tutorials on this matter?
Update: Thanx everyone, your links gave me some ideas, and I cobbled together this version: http://www.deninet.com/test.php It seems to work with both Mozilla and IE, which is all the criteria I require.
