Dynamic 'Flash' Navbar - JavaScript/PHP??

Ok guys,

I'm about to undertake my first comercial project and I'm already having trouble with the navbar :rolleyes:

The result I'm looking for is to have some options on the navbar appear when text is hovered on. I'm doing a bad job at describing this so have a look at http://www.chironcentre.co.uk/ which is done in javascript.

Please, anyone?

View --> Page Source --> Copy --> Paste --> Edit --> Save?

DOH! - I'll put it down to being tired last night lol.

I rooted through the source code and it looks like the cheaky bugger who made the site went and nicked the script from someone else

However, the links are all hard-coded into a config file.
Snip

Code:

Menu1=new Array("Home","http://www.dynamicdrive.com","",0,20,138);

Menu2=new Array("News","blank.htm","",2);
	Menu2_1=new Array("General","blank.htm","",5,20,150);	
		Menu2_1_1=new Array("CNN","http://www.cnn.com","",0,20,150);
		Menu2_1_2=new Array("ABCNews","http://www.abcnews.com","",0);
		Menu2_1_3=new Array("MSNBC","http://www.msnbc.com","",0);
                Menu2_1_4=new Array("CBSNews","http://www.cbsnews.com","",0);
                Menu2_1_5=new Array("Canadian News","http://news.bbc.co.uk","",2);
                          Menu2_1_5_1=new Array("Vancouver Sun","http://www.vancouversun.com","",0,20,150);
                          Menu2_1_5_2=new Array("CTV News","http://www.ctvnews.com","",0);
	Menu2_2=new Array("Technology","blank.htm","",3);
		Menu2_2_1=new Array("TechWeb","http://www.techweb.com","",0,20,200);
		Menu2_2_2=new Array("News.com","http://www.news.com","",0);
		Menu2_2_3=new Array("Wired News","http://www.wired.com","",0);

I was thinking of using a shed load of recordsets and repeat regions to generate the above. But if anyone has any other ideas then they're more than welcome to share them

If you're going to implement that particular navigation bar, especially on a paid project, then please improve it so that, in the least, if you disable javascript you can still actually navigate the site.

Why not implement a dropdown menu in the traditional HTML/CSS way?
