A Vertical Menu for All Browsers - The Second Drop Down Menu
(Page 4 of 4 )
This is the outline diagram of the second drop down menu.
Fig. 17.7
You have one section (main) table, having other tables inside of it. It has two rows of one cell each. The first cell has the character. The reason for this first cell is the same as the reason for the “blank” cells given above.
The second cell in the second row has a table. This table is always displayed when the section table is displayed. The value of the display property of the section table can be changed from "none" to "block" at any time. The value of the display property of this inner table is always "block."
This table is more or less what we called the Outer Table previously. However, its ID has been given to the section table; it no longer has an ID. This table has one row and three cells. Each of these cells has the menu table that can be displayed or removed. Everything else for the second drop down menu is as we set it up previously in this series.
The JavaScript Code
Two lines are deleted in the JavaScript code. These changes are in the dropDownMenu(ID) function. For the Vertical main menu we no longer have the main table for the sub menus with the ID ‘MT’. So the following line with its preceding comment (not shown here) is removed from the JavaScript:
document.getElementById('MT').style.display = "block";
If you do not remove this line, your complete code may not work.
We no longer have the sub menu produced by the fifth column. So the following line and its preceding comment (not shown here) is removed from the JavaScript:
document.getElementById('ST34').style.display = "none";
If you do not remove this line, your complete code may not work.
Image Code
You can modify the above code, as we did in the previous part, to have the corresponding image code.
You can download the complete code for the vertical main menu at:

Both files are in ZIP format. The second one includes two images.
We have come to the end of this part of the series. In the next, and last, part I will give you a summary of all what we have learned and then conclude.
