I need help with Java Script. I was wondering if any body would have a file that they could send my way that would have the code in it already for a menu. I need it to go vertical. It has been driving me nuts.

Have you made sure the <li> styling in CSS has float:left or right in it?

Do I understand you correctly that you are looking for a vertical drop down menu? Have you tried position is everything? I think this is the one I tend to us

or

They always take a bit of configuring to sort out

I am not looking for a drop down menu at this point. I want to keep the same menu setup I have but I want to put it in java script so that I can change it when I want to and have the rest of the site update at the same time. I don't want to keep on having to go into each page of the site and make that change. One file, one change, done all at once.

Sounds like you want to use an include file. That way all pages reference the one instance of your navigation so any updates to the navigation are made to the one file and the change then ripples through the site. Presuming you're using php I'd use the following:

Code:
<?php include("PATH_TO_NAVIGATION_FILE.php"); ?>

Alternatively if you want to use javascript you can use

Code:
function menuContent() {
var menuStr = "";

menuStr = menuStr + "<ul>";
menuStr = menuStr + "<li><a href='/LINK1.html'>Link 1</a></li>";
menuStr = menuStr + "<li><a href='/LINK2.html'>Link 2</a></li>";
menuStr = menuStr + "<li><a href='/LINK3.html'>Link 3</a></li>";
menuStr = menuStr + "<li><a href='/LINK4.html'>Link 4</a></li>";
menuStr = menuStr + "<li><a href='/LINK5.htmlp'>Link 5</a></li>";
menuStr = menuStr + "<li><a href='/LINK6.html'>Link 6</a></li>";
menuStr = menuStr + "</ul>";

document.write(menuStr);
}

This code would be help in an external file and referenced in the html code with:

Code:
<script src="scripts/menu.js" language="javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">
menuContent();
</script>

My preference would be to go for the include file for search engine reasons. Hope this helps.

Thanks caravan. I tested that script out on the site.

I now have another problem that, that script has added to the site.

http://www.psychpa.com/

This is the site where I am using that script on. I believe you will see the problem the first time you go to that site. The script now will show that column where the script has been placed as 100 percent of the site and than go back down to where it is suppose to be.

Is there a command that can be added to the script to make it 130 wide like the column is?

I also took out the < ul > < li > code. Did not need it indented like that. I had to add < br > code to the script to get separate lines for each link. Is there a different code that could be used in the script to achieve this?

Also can you have a mouse over I think it is called and get rid of the underlines under each link?

Not sure as the html code uses tables rather than divs and it's years since I used tables. You could try adding a class to the table and give it a width of 130px. Why are you using tables to layout the page as well as a javascript menu?

That is how I first learned to write code.

I do have set width on that side of the page. I have messed around with it more and more. Just a matter of time until I can it working the way I think it should work. Thanks for the help again.
