The following file contains page elements and javascript that provide cross browser menuing capability. For simplicity, they are packaged together in an ASP "include" file in four sections:

1. STYLE element. It should really appear in the page's HEAD element.
    
2. Top level menu. If using absolute positioning, keep it with the menu sets. To set absolute positioning, add a style attribute to the TopMenu DIV setting position, top and left. Toggle between relative and absolute
    
3. Menu sets. Their content on this page betrays my fondness for Notepad as a web development tool. Since menu sets are absolutely positioned, place them somewhere out of the way.
    
4. Javascript. This has been tested on Windows XP with current IE, Firefox and Opera browsers. It has also been tested on Mac OS X (briefly, at the Apple store in King of Prussia mall) with the current Safari browser.

Let me know how it works for you. Email: joel.pearson@pearsontechnology.com (mailto)
