I was always curious how Microsoft did this little trick, but their code was so deep I was never able to figure it out.

I finally did though from another source and it only takes a few lines of code.

Here is an example if your in to DHTML and layers.

I also posted a .PSD file that you can download too.


Enjoy!

Yep thats quite an obvious one... simply replacing display:none with display:block

Look, not everyone knows how to design a website.

If you can't use this, then don't bother replying.

Thanks EricP. That code was a good help. It really was a puzzle to give that menu like microsoft.

nice effect, but be very careful to cope with cross browser issues.

ie. this doesn't work in the latest versions of mozilla/netscape as-is

nice example though

cheers

EricP, nice thread man, thanks for sharing this.
