dHTML Drop Down Menu Tutorial - Part 1

Aims of the tutorial

This tutorial is intended to get you started on your way to building your own drop down menu system in JavaScript.

It is written for educational purposes, but will hopefully provide a full, comprehensive menu system for download at the end (at least, all the basics will be in place from which to build one).

If you want to download the example menu system for use in your site, go to the download page and download the code there.

The code in the tutorial will be loosely based on an evolution of the code from the drop down menu section (as used at the top of this page) and will include some of the improvements that will be in Version 3 or the menus. It won't neccesarily include all of the features of these menus.
