Newbie: How to create a mouse over popup menu

[Lorenzo Thurman]

I've been looking for some sample code that will create a mouse over
popup menu.


somethng that would work like this:

In its normal state:

samplemenu

on mouse over it would do this:

samplemenu ->menuitem1
->menuitem2
->menuitem3


each menuitem would represent a link.
TIA

www.dynamicdrive.com has at least a dozen scripts to do this very thing.

Real browsers do not need javascript to do this:

However, every script I've seen on DynamicDrive has been poorly written
and should not be used.

The best I've seen so far can be see here:

You click to expand and collapse the menus. You could modify it, if you
wanted to, to open and close the menus on hover.

Yeah, Michael, by and large you're right, though there are a few exceptions.
Myself I've never used a script from there verbatim - I've always spent some
time cleaning and tweaking.

Good call.
