Re: zend.com slow?

Company bias notwithstanding, the Cobalt Qube3's menus are an outstanding example of how to do menus really well. (<sales pitch>The Cobalt Qube3, by the way, has a PHP-driven UI, and comes with PHP, PostgreSQL, and MySQL preinstalled. It also has firewall and DHCP features so that multiple people can use one DSL line, without you having to buy additional static IPs. It starts at $999... it's a great itty-bitty web server. </sales pitch>) You can check out their menu system and demo their administrative features at http://qube3en.demo.cobalt.com/ Login name: admin Password: demoadmin I believe the Qube3 menu system is mostly written in PHP, with the help of Javascript. (You can also do it entirely in PHP with a database on the back-end; I have.)
