I have been charged with doing a "pop-up" (hierarchical) menu in Javascript, but disallowed (for compatibility reasons) to use DHTML .. this raises some interesting issues and unfortunately a weird little problem that hopefully someone can help me with.
I have a basic top-level menu structure across the bottom of the screen in a frame. When you mouseover any of the buttons on this menu (4) an animated gif simulates the "roll-up" menu system. ON this .gif file is an imagemap that enables the links on that menu to be accessed. My problem is that everytime you move the mouse over a new link within the menu, it starts the rollover again .. from the beginning of the animation. This is annoying and bad. I have a rollover command in the main link for the image (to perform the first level rollup) and then MORE onmouseOvers within the imagemap, in a vain attempt to keep the menu there whilst you visit a new link.
This is now beginning to drive me insane ... could someone please help?
