Hey - - -- - -- -- I keep a profile of a user's rights and responsibilities in tables. Since this profile defines what a user can do in the system I am designing, I'd like to build a JavaScript menu navigation scheme. I need it to be driven programmatically, because the Admin users can add and remove tasks to the system or to a given user at-will. I already built a similar thing using CSS-only menus, but it just wasn't aesthetically flexible enough. I am exploring other options, but I am wondering if any of you have done something similar and have any samples or advice. Ken

Ken: I use php and css to do navigation. The css handles client-side and php does the server-side. If you have links that are available for some, but not others and want to keep them secure/private, then don't go the javascript route -- it's a simple matter to break that. My advice, figure out what you want to present in php and then have php write the css for you. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
