I'm looking for a way to generate dropdown/foldout menus (horizontal and
vertical) on the fly, but all the javascript solutions I've seen use
absolute or relative pixel positioning, which means I can't use them because
I don't know at the time of generating a specific menu item how many pixels
across or down the preceding items have already used. I'm currently using a
javascript menu that works really well, but all the top-level menu items
have to be preset with specific x-y pixel coordinates, and all the
subsequent items are then relative to the top-level items. So I can generate
the second-level and subsequent items on the fly but not the top-level
items. Is there a way to use css or dhtml or something else (maybe something
in javascript that I missed) to do this?

Thanks
Arno

Arno:

There's really no way to do this just using php. I can envision a way to use php with a couple of other languages to provide drop-down and pop-out menus, but that would be more complicated than just using css with js, like so:

Why complicate your life?
