[Dynamic Struts Menus]

I've been doing some research into dynamic menus using struts. I had a look 
into http://sourceforge.net/projects/struts-menu/ offering as it appears on 
the struts resources page. I continued to implement an example using their 
coolmenu4 format as it is configurable using Cascading style sheets... This 
version currently doesn't support IE6... surely it should at least support 
this version as its one of the most popular version in use today.

This example also fails to function correctly in Netscape 7.02, when you 
scroll downwards the menu div tag remains visible
at the top... rather than disappearing from view as it does it IE6.

Then i took a look through the javascript source in an attempt to fix this 
IE6 bug.... once i took a look at this source i came to the conclusion i'd 
be better to look else where or write it all myself... surly we don't 
require 500+ line of javascript for something as simple as this????


Ok if your looking for a basic fixed style menu then maybe you'll find what 
your looking for with some of the other examples included... but should you 
want to control your menus appearance using Cascading Style sheets this is 
not for you it would seem!!


I'd be grateful to hear any comment other users may have with regards this 
topic, or if there is an alternative that i could use other than writing it 
myself??

It says very clearn that Coolmenu 3 works but Cool menu 4 does not.

You can use Coolmenu direct or some other JavaScripts menus out there, 
including flash menus.
