I would like to have a menu system on my site that kind of resembles the one you get on Windows XP.

It doesnt have to scroll up and down and fade in and out like XP but just appear and dissappear.

The way I was thinking was to have a div with the menu title and the arrow image, then have another div below that resizes. Im just not sure how to go about doing this and whether it is possible to resize a div on the fly.

If anyone has seen anything similar or any tutorial sites could you let me know.

Thanks.

Wow that looks really good, I'll have a fiddle around with some of the options.

Thanks.

Is there anything simpler that provides the same sort of effect. The script looks very complicated and I like to (for some strange reason ;)) know how a script works.

I know this script is complex...


however, i don't know a simplier way...

Maybe you can take all the needed part of it, so it will be simplier ...
