Using Lists for DHTML Menus

gazingus.org
has written up a well done article on using lists for DHTML Menus. He has the code, the examples (dropdown and expandable)

It’s using appropriate markup (<ul>), it degrades gracefully, and uses minimal Javascript.

Hi, I've implemented the gazingus.org menus ...and they're so close to what I'm looking for. Do you know how I could contact their creator, or any forums where I could discuss similar menus?

I just want to make them show/hide through onmouseover/onmouseoff instead of onclick. As my javascript is rusty, I'm sure there's a better way to do it than I have so far...my onmouseover works fine with these menus, but it looks like I'll need a timer for the mouseout... and I'm sure there could be an easier way. After all, these menus are "light and graceful" and I'd like my modification to compliment them.

p.k.

Hi, here is a URL with a version of the Gazingus menus working on a mouseover.

I'm looking for a version that automates the menu initiation...maybe through a for loop...any help would be appreciated....
