Top navigation using XSLT and javascript?

[pmaertens]

Hi,

For my company I have decided to create a sharepoint website with different webparts in it.

A little explanation of the site:

At the top there is a navigation bar with head-topics. When you click on one of them, in the left of the screen there appears sub-items of the head-topics.

I have created a list (called navigation) with my head-topics in it, so I can easily update them afterwards.

I have created a webzone, using Frontpage 2003, and added the navigation-webpart. I deleted the toolbar etc. and also formatted in XLST but my records are placed in different rows.

So now I have:

Topic1
Topic2
Topic3
etc.

but what I want is:
Topic1 Topic2 Topic3 etc.

I can do this by using a preformatted style but then is the problem that all my records are in the same cell of the database. I need it to be in different cells or an other solution because I want to put a blue box around every topic, and with javascript when you go over a topic, the onmouseover (or similar) event will start.

now THE question: How can I be able to put my records from the list in 1 row but different columns/cells ?

Kind regards,
