Combine Submenus and Popout Menus?

Sent by Patrick Madden on 3 November 2003 16:04


I've been fascinated by some examples of CSS-controlled navigation-list 
behaviors out there, specifically, Kalsey's "CSS Tabs with Submenus" 
(http://www.kalsey.com/tools/csstabs/), and Eric Meyer's "Pure CSS 
(Popout) Menus" 
(http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html).

I've adapted Kalsey's system so I could use one navigation list 
(included via php) for an entire site. The whole list is there in the 
code, but it only displays the subnavigation for the page you're on 
(http://ellis-linux.cas.ohiou.edu/ menu is in 
http://ellis-linux.cas.ohiou.edu/nav.php).

My dream is to combine these two techniques so that with one nav.php 
file that includes everything, you'd see on any given page the 
corresponding submenu items, but other main-categories' submenus would 
pop out on rollover. Given my own page as an example, I mean that you'd 
have the "Graduate Program" expanded, but if you rolled over 
"Undergraduate Program" or others, you'd see their submenus either out 
to the side or pushing down below.

This seems like it could be done, but I'm not sufficiently capable with 
CSS to figure it out (at least not yet), and I haven't found any 
example anywhere. Can anyone here give me some clues or point me to a 
place where it's done?

Thanks,

Pat Madden
