Hello

I've been looking through and through for a javascript navigation menu that is set up like tabs. But there is not one, but two tricks.

1.) The javascript has to be able to do rollover images for the tabs.
2.) All of the tab info cannot be preloaded. Each tab pulls a lot of information from a mysql database, and for it to load all the info for every tab at once would be hell for any server (especially mine).

I have a good example of what I need it to basically look like and do.

Click between the tabs. You'll see it load the info, then display it. Its simple and it does not use frames.


Does anyone know of a script that can do this, or does anybody know someone who could write this script?

Please let me know. I will pay.

Tabs like these are ver simply coded. But infact are not built in javascript. They are in fact CSS tabs.

It is a very common process and has been around for a while now.

You define a standard list, but then put it's display 'inline', and use CSS to build a 3 line box around each <li> element.

I quickly put this together to show you the process: http://webtop-designs.com/temp/tabs.htm

The javascript is just used to set the class for the click <a> to 'current' so it can change via CSS.

Yes, I can get that far no problem. But I need to make it to read a lot of mysql queries...and yet not preload it all. make sense?

Would you be up for helping me code this?
