RE: [PHP] lookin for a Menuing System...

javascript should be easy enough to convert to php - thier language constructs are basically the same. I even found out, by accident, that you can have dollar signs ($) in front of javascript variables (in ie5.5 at least, haven't tried it in other browsers) -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Cruz [mailto:mnc@stoic.net] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 2:03 PM To: David Freeman Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] lookin for a Menuing System...

But take care - using JavaScript for site navigation is tricky business. Some people don't use it, some people can't use it (not supported by their browsers / hardware / corporate policy), and search engines certainly won't follow those links. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
