> Any help would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks folks, I'm not sure from the message what of the menu generation process you want to automate (just the display or if you actually want to dynamically create new menu items with JS). There's a reasonably simple example of the former here: http://www.fusiontap.com/docs/index.cfm?netaction=implement/mxhtml (Scroll down to the middle of the page where you see the tabset and select the tab labelled "menu".) Of course, this is framework generated, and both the high-level framework code and the middleware are much smaller and easier to read than the end-result. Here's an example of the high-level code: <cfmodule template="#request.tapi.xhtml()#"> <cfoutput> <div xmlns:tap="http://www.fusiontap.com";> <tap:menu label="home" offsetx="0" offsety="12"> <div>bogus link</div> <div>bogus link</div> <tap:menu label="submenu"> <div>bogus link</div> <div>bogus link</div> <tap:menu label="submenu"> <tap:menu label="submenu"> <div>bogus link</div> <div>bogus link</div> <tap:menu label="submenu"> <div>bogus link</div> <div>bogus link</div> </tap:menu> <div>bogus link</div> </tap:menu> </tap:menu> <div>bogus link</div> </tap:menu> </tap:menu> </div> </cfoutput> </cfmodule> That's... 4 levels deep I believe. The code to display it is pretty simple. Each child menu handle has an onmouseover event which displays its menu. In the same event it triggers/executes the onmouseover event of the parent menu, which ensures that all parent menus remain open until a relevant mouseout event. I suspect the generated html/javascript is more readable than most javascript projects. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
