I think it's Taliesin unless he sold it to boards.ie. Actually now that I think about it it's probably spinsol.

Or Brainjar has some similar scripts, the webreference once is probably better though.

Bard, just a quick note on opera and that drop down menu system, it actually works fine in opera in *nix, but not Windows.

Opera 5.11, win98se (ick)

Menus work fine

Menus a little bit broken in previous versions of opera, didn't appear in the right place.

I know the webreference one pretty well because I've used it on a couple of sites.

I had a problem with it appearing in the wrong place when using netscape 4.

The problem could have been fixed by putting topmargin="0" etc.. into the <body> tag in the case of netscape 4, but I didn't want to do that because it is illegal XHTML 1.0 - yes I know it is a bit freaky but I like my HTML legal ;-)

Anyway you can modify the code to place the menu in a different position depending on which browser is being used.

e.g. add this to HM_Arrays.js

if ((navigator.appName == "Netscape")&&(navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1)=="4")) {
// Detect Netscape 4.x
top = 8;
left = 8;
}

If that didn't come out right just look at the Javascript used on purplepages.ie
