Does anyone know if there is an opensource javascript application that lets viewers create their own css/javascript menus online?
This one is CSS, its pretty useful, has tons of templates. http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/list-o-matic/list-o-matic.asp This one is very simple: http://tools.devshed.com/webmaster-tools/css-navigation/
What benefit would it give the user to do it online when there are quite a few readily available that you can download and tailor to your needs ?
those who don't care to download and tailor a script and would just rather do it online that's who...
I am not sure I have seen an open source script. This site, Webmaster Tools has a couple of links for menu generators. They aren't 100% free, though, you can buy them or have to keep a link to the site - searchbliss for instance. I followed the link 'WebmastersCavern' and there may be something here but I have not checked anything out. You might try scripts sites like hotscripts, where I HAVE seen before, a couple of cgi scripts for generating js menus from your website. I can't remember where I found them now, whether hotscripts or other sites. Of course these places also have tons of javascripts and some may be what you are looking for. Open source might be hard to find but, like I say, I do recall one or two a while ago. :O)))
thanks for the tip mikmik, but they're all not available for download. couldn't find anything either on hotscripts oh, well...
Cry, cry, I just wiped my reply LOL! Yeah, sorry howardroark, they are hard to find. I have a subscription to 'SearchBliss' newsletter and will keep this thread in mind if something comes up. Till then, the best they have I can see is this: Dynamic Menu Generator --------------------------- You know..... Just looking back I remember this being a quite good site for some SEO stuff, but they might have good tools for websites: Webmaster Toolkit This is another I used to use: Bravenet I will keep my eyes open and post anything I ever find here. I go to script sites a lot, and there is a whoile whack of xml and ajax stuff being developed that menu generation would be a good use of. Like I said, I have seen a cgi script somewhere, too :O)))
