[Dynapi-Help] suggestions on menu code?

[ed <co...@ya...>]

Hey all.  I was wondering if any of you all 
would check out the source code here:
http://dewebware.com/misc/dynapi/tests/menu.html  
and give me some suggestions on the way I'm doing
this. 

I tried giving that file a .txt extension so it would
just print instead of rendering html, but it went
ahead and rendered the code even with a .txt
extension.  I don't know why..  Anyways I thought I'd
save the list some bandwidth since the file's kinda
big. 

Is my approach(in general) to doing this menu sane?  

Is there a way to set up event listeners in a more 
generic way?  
Because the more menu items I add to this, the more
event listener code I'm gonna have to add.

Anyways, if this is a sucky approach, please let me
know why.  If it's not bad, let me know, so I can go
on working on it without wondering if I'm wasting my
time with a bad methodology. :) 

tia,
--ed

I checked the code examples with IE6 and Mozilla 1.2.1 and was somewhat
disappointed.

This sort of works in IE6, in that the sub-menu layers show up when you move
the mouse over the main menu layers.  However, the sub menus are not
accessible, as they disappear as soon as you move the mouse.  This doesn't
work at all in Mozilla 1.2.1.

This one had great documentation, and seems to work the same in both
browsers, in that it writes a text message to a form field when you click
anywhere on the page.  That's not the same as a working example though.

It's frustrating to work with an API which doesn't have fully working
examples.  On the whole, the 2.5.x examples work well, but there's a lack of
widgets with working example code.  The 2.9 examples seem to be coded well,
but somehow the API is horribly broken in the above browsers, and I can't
figure out where it's breaking.

Just calling for some more working examples and documentation.  If you make
a widget, just make some generalized version showing off all the
functionality with documentation in the example page.  As for the 2.9 API,
I'm just waiting for the CVS to be setup so I can get a copy of the most
recent version.  :-)

Keep in mind that richard may not have the latest fizes for IE 6 on his
site.
I have ripped his sight and may just mirror it on my comp so as to update
the library..

I also wouldn't mind someone sending the latest 2.9 build so as I can play
with that and maybe
port the widgets over.. (bored.. ned something to do damnit!!)
