[UPHPU] "Dynamic" Drop down menus

[staff-gmail]

You have several options.  Most likely you can code it with ajax and 
javascript.   You don't need a database for your menu items by having 
them "fixed" in your javascript as arrays.  Or you could store them in 
an xml file.  If you use ajax , check out some frameworks like jquery or 
dojo.  I suspect some of their tutorials might cover just what you are 
looking for.  I've seen some ajax tutorials cover this topic so try 
searching for one.
