Hey - - -- - -- --
I keep a profile of a user's rights and responsibilities in
tables. Since this profile defines what a user can do in the
system I am designing, I'd like to build a JavaScript menu
navigation scheme. I need it to be driven programmatically,
because the Admin users can add and remove tasks to the system or
to a given user at-will.
I already built a similar thing using CSS-only menus, but it just
wasn't aesthetically flexible enough. I am exploring other
options, but I am wondering if any of you have done something
similar and have any samples or advice.
I use php and css to do navigation. The css handles client-side and
php does the server-side.
If you have links that are available for some, but not others and
want to keep them secure/private, then don't go the javascript
route -- it's a simple matter to break that.
My advice, figure out what you want to present in php and then have
php write the css for you.
Hi, tedd --- - - -
Thank you for the advice. I guess I'd better try the CSS route
again. I think I may do a combination of CSS and the technique I'm
using now.
I appreciate the advice you gave on what is breakable, too. Just to
amplify -- the tasks that are available to a user are in a session
array. These are created on login (or session init. for a guest
user) and only those tasks to which the user has access appear in
the array -- links are not just disabled.

But regardless of the scheme, if you rely upon the user-side of
things, then it's insecure.
Cheers,
