Hey mate i have done it what you have to do is this
if you look at my code then your see what i have done in the head tag you should have
<LINK href="menu.
css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/
css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="expandingMenu.
js"></script>
so what you do is make a
menu.css file by opening your notepad editor
and in that menus.
css file you input
ul#menu {
width: 100px;
list-style-type: none;
border-top: solid 1px #b9a894;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul#menu ol {
display: none;
text-align: right;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
}
ul#menu li,
ul#menu a {
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #785a3c;
}
ul#menu li {
border-bottom: solid 1px #b9a894;
line-height: 15px;
}
ul#menu ol li {
border-bottom: none;
}
ul#menu ol li:before {
content: "- ";
}
ul#menu a {
text-decoration: none;
outline: none;
}
ul#menu a:hover {
color: #539dbc;
}
ul#menu a.active {
color: #be5028;
}
this and save it then you make the Javascript code which is this
// Node Functions
if(!window.Node){
var Node = {ELEMENT_NODE : 1, TEXT_NODE : 3};
}
function checkNode(node, filter){
return (filter == null || node.nodeType == Node[filter] || node.nodeName.toUpperCase() == filter.toUpperCase());
}
function getChildren(node, filter){
var result = new Array();
var children = node.childNodes;
for(var i = 0; i < children.length; i++){
if(checkNode(children[i], filter)) result[result.length] = children[i];
}
return result;
}
function getChildrenByElement(node){
return getChildren(node, "ELEMENT_NODE");
}
function getFirstChild(node, filter){
var child;
var children = node.childNodes;
for(var i = 0; i < children.length; i++){
child = children[i];
if(checkNode(child, filter)) return child;
}
return null;
}
function getFirstChildByText(node){
return getFirstChild(node, "TEXT_NODE");
}
function getNextSibling(node, filter){
for(var sibling = node.nextSibling; sibling != null; sibling = sibling.nextSibling){
if(checkNode(sibling, filter)) return sibling;
}
return null;
}
function getNextSiblingByElement(node){
return getNextSibling(node, "ELEMENT_NODE");
}
// Menu Functions & Properties
var activeMenu = null;
function showMenu() {
if(activeMenu){
activeMenu.className = "";
getNextSiblingByElement(activeMenu).style.display = "none";
}
if(this == activeMenu){
activeMenu = null;
} else {
this.className = "active";
getNextSiblingByElement(this).style.display = "block";
activeMenu = this;
}
return false;
}
function initMenu(){
var menus, menu, text, a, i;
menus = getChildrenByElement(document.getElementById("menu "));
for(i = 0; i < menus.length; i++){
menu = menus[i];
text = getFirstChildByText(menu);
a = document.createElement("a");
menu.replaceChild(a, text);
a.appendChild(text);
a.href = "#";
a.onclick = showMenu;
a.onfocus = function(){this.blur()};
}
}
if(document.createElement) window.onload = initMenu;
and you input this in your notepad editor and save as
expandingMenu.js
then all you do is add in the <body> tag is
<ul id="menu">
<li>Menu Item 1
<ol>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.3</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Menu Item 2
<ol>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.3</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Menu Item 3
<ol>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 3.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 3.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 3.3</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Menu Item 4
<ol>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 4.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 4.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 4.3</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Menu Item 5
<ol>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 5.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 5.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 5.3</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
and edit the links to what you want and the menus.css if you want different colours and stuff so when you done that it should come out like this
P.S BUT DON'T JUST COPY AND PASTE THIS OTHERWISE YOU WON'T LEARN WHAT ITS ABOUT THATS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT OR LEARNED
