Dynamic HTML Dialog Widget
Netscape Communicator 4 only
Before we get into the code, let's take a look at how some of these dialogs work.
The first example, the links dialog, opens a dialog box with hyperlinks to other
sections within this site. Click the image at left to open the dialog. While there
are many better ways to do it, this dialog could be used for web site navigation.
The morph dialog can be used to change background colors of your page, tables,
frames, any HTML tag that supports the bgcolor attribute. While not
necessarily useful on production sites, this is a nice development tool for
checking the look of your page in different color schema. Click the image at
right to launch it. You may have noticed when you entered this page how it
looks a little different from all the others you have encountered on the site.
This one is not using the speckled background image just so this tip will
demonstrate properly. If you are using a background graphic, it will take
precedence over the bgcolor attribute. But, if you consider this for a moment,
you will probably realize that you could also change background images on
the fly.
The Dialog Widget is
freely distributed by Netscape and may be downloaded by right
clicking here, then choosing Save Link As . . . To learn more about the other
functions available with the Dialog Widget visit the
Netscape site.

The Internet Brothers have implemented
hierarchical menus for navigation. Easier done than said. In
our effort to be friendly to all browsers, the menu tree
is functional with version 4 or greater of both the
AOL/Netscape and Internet Explorer products.
As stated
above, hovering over the button will open the menu for
these browsers. But if you have an older product, don't
fret, we'll send you to the scum page. Just click the
button.
Why haven't you downloaded the newer versions?
They're free you know.

Download Netscape Communicator
The hierarchical
menus were created using Peter Belesis' © Dynomat DHTML
scripting tool
from Webreference. Give them a visit, you'll like
what you learn.
