fly out menus

[janet24]

Is it possible to have a fly out menu (not a form pull down menu) using either an include or .js document so when the buttons change you only have to change one document instead of changing the menu on each page.

thanks....

Copy whatever code you have between <script> and </script> tags into a text file with a .js extension and call it using:
<script src=&quot;myTextFile.js&quot;></script>

I have a .js file that is loaded exactly as you have stated above:

<script src=&quot;myTextFile.js&quot;></script>

In this .js file, I have this line:

<script src=&quot;myTextFile.js&quot;></script>

unfortunately I can't seem to embedd a .js call within a .js file......

Is it possible to do this?
if so how?

Thanks,

Sure... put this in the first .js file:

document.write('<scr'+'ipt src=&quot;myTextFile.js&quot;></scr'+'ipt>');

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, I'm assuming that it works, so here's my next question: Why will it work if I break up the word script?

It just doesn't make sense to me, I'm not saying that it doesn't, I just don't understand.......

thanks,

I think it's because when the script parser encounters the </script> tag it stops.

A .js file should not contain a script tag -- only functions.

It worked for me....now when somebody makes a change to the fly out window I just have to change the .js file. And they've already made a change to the menu, imagine that!

Thanks....

Actually...I just realized the fly-out menus don't seem to work in Netscape but work in explorer...they worked when they were on the same page.

This is what I have....any suggestions.

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;../common_images/mm_menu.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;intro_scripts/intro_menu.js&quot;></script>

Use

<script src=&quot;../common_images/mm_menu.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script>
<script src=&quot;intro_scripts/intro_menu.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;></script>

Cheers,
