[Dynapi-Widgetdev] menuList widget

[Day, O. V <ovd...@Gl...>]

I am currently developing for a portal that needs a crossplatform DHTML
menuList widget and I've been working with the DynAPI 1 version.  This has a
flaw that is discussed (very briefly) in another post but not really
explained.

He goes on to say it works fine in DynAPI2 but I can't find any reference to
the widget he developed.  
Pascal Bestebroer goes on in a reply stating that he used a different
technique "creates an url image for the background using javascript as the
url: javascript:null" but again I couldn't find reference to this code.  I
did find a popUp menu in Pascal's resass.f2s.com directory
(http://www.resass.f2s.com/dynapi/Pascal_Bestebroer_Dynacore_Examples/) but
I don't think this is the same thing.  
I really would like to know if anyone has either patched the problem
successfully in v1 of DynAPI so I can at least run the menu for now or
ported the widget to API 2 so I can recode my autoGeneration tool to use the
newer one.
Any help at all would be appreciated. 
thanks,
