want some help with a project

I'm revamping our help desk's horrific data structure for issue documentation. Basically turning it into a website with links to different documents rewritten as html documents for easier readying and organization. I want to set up so that each page has a menu loaded along the top with drop down menus. I know VERY basic javascripting, so if pointed to a relatively fast and basic drop down menu I could hack at it, but I need a base to work off you know?

So if you have links to something like that I'd be really appreciative. Better still, links to tutorials that will help me make my own relatively quickly and can also teach me good code techniques. I hate having to use js in the first place, but I can't seem to convince this company to use an actual decent browser that would let me do this in css..

When using pure CSS make sure it bypasses all non-standard behaviour of IE if you want it to work in that browser.

Good luck, you'll need it.

Those two explain it real well - and the first one has the IE workarounds too

Re: want some help with a project

Here's how to make IE understand CSS.

Drop down menus made with pure CCS works in IE with this code!

[edit] Umm, it says on the page it's still alpha, maybe you don't want to use it on production site yet..  [/edit]

Some examples: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic2/index.htm

Some of them work with IE , some don't.
