Freeware version of DHTML navbar menu?

June 22, 2004 10:32 AM

I love the DHTML navbar menu thing available at Mishoo, but I'm loathe to spend £25 on it. Does anyone know if there's a decent OS/Freeware version of it around?

Well.. it's DHTML. You can always view the source.

Gazingus.org has an expandable menu using lists. There's also one at Squidfingers. Matt Kruse has one too.

Shouldn't you be using a menu system that is standards-compliant and accessible as, for example, Brothercake's (to name the most advanced one)?

A note: while it pains me to do it sometimes, being that I am generally thrifty and pretty experienced as a web developer, depending on how valuable your time is, it can be worth it to pay for stuff. I've spent $30 on a crossplatform scrolling marquis before, and walked away happy, when time was scarce... much as I would have liked to work out the details myself.

Linux - true, but I really hate people who do that. Probably because most of this kind of stuff has been done by little guys not corporations...

I'd agree, but DHTML should be sold not as code, but as a combination of code+admin making it easy to setup, whereas viewing the source and tweaking it manually or reverse-engineering it is a valid way of using their code.
