This widget is a DHTML menu that uses lists with special class names and a javascript file.

The JavaScript file provided is the same as gazingus.org's one except I modified it so it stored the state of menu in a cookie, and supports having a list open by default. To implement it, simply use the link provided in the related links section to go the gazingus.org and use their page to get the basics of it working.

To implement my version, follow these steps:

  1. Download my javascript file and include that instead of the gazingus.org file.
  2. When setting up your menu, if you want the menu open by default, use the class actuatoropen (defined in my CSS file) for the actuator link, and add a call to hideMenus() in the header script code before the initialization code.

That's it! The feature that uses cookies requires no special changes from the gazingus example, except you need to include my javascript file instead.
