I've just been coolmenus that for a project for someone and found it pretty good, another not bad one is Hier Menus (sp?) which you can also find a link to from dhtmlcentral.
Did the menu you create pull articles and data from the database automatically or did you have to go into the database and mark what should be pulled as the examples demand?
I'm looking at the examples and I would essentially have to rewrite everything. Am I missing something? While it's better than nothing, I was hoping I wouldn't have to start from scratch as this code will force me to do.
Once you start getting into dynamic menus, you will surely have to recode a lot of stuff. There is generally nothing simplistic about DHTML, in fact you will often find a lot of grief at times because it can get hairy to integrate with a database AND to find a good menu that is cross browser capable.
If I get through this I'll post the work but I may abandon the idea, unfortunately. It would have been nice but I don't have the luxury of time to do it.
Coolmenus is pretty cool. And you create the menu options dynamically. THey download has examples on how to using VB. Once you really get to understand its use of CSS you can really do some powerful things.
