0 gregor Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 well.. you can also find movable menus when loging in to my.aol.com. register there and check. about the stuff anyways... this is dhtml and javascript, so if you type "dhtml move menu" or something like that in google, you should find several tutorials or examples. that's it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 iUk Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Check out www.dynamicdrive.com for lots of code samples of DHTML tricks and effects. There might be something there that is similar. I have found a lot of great code there. Also, in Internet Explorer you could just right click and "View Source" for the code of the Microsoft home page and figure out which sections of code control those boxes. It's probably in a javascript external file, but with trial and error you can probably figure it out. I'm not sure of the rules and legality about copying code from the Microsoft site, but I did it to get those cool OfficeXP-like menus they have on the left side of their pages. It's an XML/Javascript code combination to create them, and it only took me a few days to extract all the necessary code and make my own improvements... If you would like any help on extracting the code from the Microsoft site, just email me at intentionallyu@msn.com. iUk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Geronimo Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Sure just drop the script into a table and change the color inside the table to how you would like it to look. Here is one i have been messing around with right now. Very basic w/ no content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
The_Rain_King
How exaclty do you get the clickable, collapsable, floating and dragable little toolbars that Microsoft has on their main page of their site.
I am referring to the ones that say "Today's News" and "Downloads"
I can read the html file and know the "good stuff" is all linked to the file, but how do i implement that kinda of behaviour in another site?
Thanks in advance.
