hierarchical menus

[Dennis Allen]

Hi. I've been using a simple css based outline on my web site. A section of hyperlinks within <div class>, imitating open/closed folders. Problem. Since the folder is on the lower left of the window, when you open it you have to use the windows scroll basr to see all of it. I'd like to switch to a Microsoft-like web site hierarchical menu. Tried several variations, but have the same problem. When you open a section most of it disappears off the bottom of the screen.

Question. Is there a way to add a windows [start] button like scroll button? Or is there a hierarchical menu around that scrolls?

See the menu at www.4thorder.us or my site,

https://www.somestuff.batcave.net/menu1.html

The menu is based upon <ul><li> tags, which simply expand out if no JS.
You can easiy define a scroll area in css using the method <li><div
style="overflow :auto;"></div</<li>.
The multi-level menu can branch out any number of times you need.
Get the zip file and see the demos.

Sorry. I couldn't see any scrolling area on either web site. Can you point me to the right spot? Or should I resize my browse window in some way?

Question. Doesn't overflow: need a height:? I have a <div> with 30 hyperlinks and I only see the first 10, then I'd probably need a height:100. If, on the other hand, my <div> is closer to the top of the screen and I can see the first 20, wouldn't I need a height:200? How can I change the height of the scroll? Again, what we need is a scroll bar to grab those hyperlinks that fall off the end of the screen.
