javascript menu that pops up like a flower.

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. Recently I am working on a flashy website that should work on
Gecko browsers as well as IE 5.5+

I wish to acchieve this effect: a user moves cursor over a small object,
perhaps an icon, a menu with 3 to 5 entries pops out like a flower, and
each menu entry should be in a round.

The effect is like this:
gopher://realss.com/99/this_week/Diagram1.svg
(or if you use non-gopher browser like IE/Opera)
http://realss.com:70/this_week/Diagram1.svg

The arrows gives the movement of the menu entries from the begining. The
round menu entries are in the final position.

I don't want to start from the begining. I wish I could modify an
existing menu system. However I STFW for some time but didn't see any
menu system that looks close to what I described above.

Any suggestions? Will it be very difficult to start from the begining?

Since nobody reply my first post, it seems I could be the first one
comes with this idea, so perhaps I should write a new one without
worrying about reinventing the wheel

However, if people has answer to my question but simply do not wish to
reply me, please (please) do provide me suggestions how to ask this in a
smarter way, I'll be very graceful.

Here I am not good at math, I really don't know how to form a formula to
create the movement I described in my svg image. I'll try but if anyone
has the resource please drop me a few lines

I crafted out a draft. This draft doesn't really work as a menu, just
show how I wish the menu pops up
This draft only tested on Mozilla 1.7.5 on Linux.

I've seen numerous menus in Flash/Java along the lines you describe as
well. Typical -

Good suggestion! However I only need one-level menu and I need
animation. I think the script you mensioned does not have animation.

www.doubleyou.com is a rich site; I wonder why I didn't pick it up before
