I'm have 5 buttons each of which open a menu item the same as the one below in a menu frame. but the problem is that once you have a menu in the frame. you can't open another one. Any Idea how this can be change (PS I'm not very good with Java)

<html>
<head>
<title>Cascading Menu</title>
</head>

function goToURL() { history.go(-1); }

cursor: hand;
}
.item_panel

width:150px;
border-left:1px solid darkblue;
border-right:1px solid darkblue;
clip:rect(0,150,0,0);

Hi apeoortje,
a little confused. Do you mean that when you click on a menu button the menu disappears and is replaced by the page you navigated to?
Please let me know and I will take another look

Liam

Thank you for looking,

I have 5 buttons in another frame, each button opens a menu such as this in the menu frame. but the problem is if you have pressed a botton to open a menu. when you try another button to open that next one it open in a new window.

I've looked through the html code, and I can't see any problems there.

If you could help me, I's be very grateful

Thx

Hi apeoortje,
I think I have understooed your problem. I think you are saying that you have 5 buttons which open 5 different menus in the menu frame.
For now we will call this menu frame menu.htm

At the bottom of your code you have some menu items. It looks like this:

Link[0] = "0|Home";
Link[1] = "1|Home| Link[2] = "1|Web Hosting| Link[3] = "1|Web Tools| Link[4] = "1|Developer Resources| Link[5] = "0|Access";
Link[6] = "1|Login| Link[7] = "1|Lost Password| Link[8] = "0|Help";
Link[9] = "1|Help| Link[10] = "1|Copy/Paste| Link[11] = "0|Advertise";
Link[12] = "1|your ad here|";

_______________________________________________________

Altering these menu items determines where you want your new page to open. Changing the following will open each page in your menu.htm frame.

Link[0] = "0|Home";
Link[1] = "1|Home| Link[2] = "1|Web Hosting| Link[3] = "1|Web Tools| Link[4] = "1|Developer Resources| Link[5] = "0|Access";
Link[6] = "1|Login| Link[7] = "1|Lost Password| Link[8] = "0|Help";
Link[9] = "1|Help| Link[10] = "1|Copy/Paste| Link[11] = "0|Advertise";
Link[12] = "1|your ad here|";


You can notce I have added menu.htm to all of the links. This can be changed to the name of your menu frame, whatever it is.
Hope this helps
Liam
