Re: Dynamic menu problem

If you have access to Macromedia Fireworks 
http://www.macromedia.com/software/fireworks/, creating drop down dynamic 
menus is a snap. Check out http://www.sfnorthwest.org or 
http://www.wester56.org or http://www.forwriters.com for examples. The 
process involved is absolutely simple and is cross browser effective, 
including Netscape 4.0 and IE 4.0 . The difficulty comes with Netscape 3.0 
or someone who has Javascript turned off. The fall back here is to  use the 
map portion and point at a default page. If you do not have Fireworks you 
can download a 30 day trial and create the menus . It really is not hard at 
all.
