DHTML Script - NewsMenu		[View Sample]

This is the newsMenu from the frontpage. After severals requests I made this a stand-alone script. You can now choose if you want the menus placed in columns or rows This script doesn't work correctly in NS5 yet since the M10 doesn't seem to support clips corretly yet


Insert into <HEAD>

<!-- Remember the "news" "key control" and "page contols" text are images, you probably want to change those with your own images. If your own images have different sizes please adjust the height and clips of the divs, and change the nImageheight variable in the script.
