This tutorial can be appreciated by users of any browser, any version. The in-line examples will work only in Netscape Navigator 4 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 for Windows.

Whaoh!!! The mail just keeps on coming!

Yes, version 3 of the menus is almost done, and yes, your suggestions have been taken into consideration. On the final page of this addendum, we list what we have already incorporated into the new version, to be published soon.

Until then, there are a couple of queries that have outnumbered all others. This addendum will address these, since they are easy for you to implement in version 2, without need to wait for their incorporation into an official update.

These are:

1. "I'm using frames, but I don't always want the linked-to page to appear in the 'main' frame. How can I occasionally load into a different frame?"
2. "I'm using frames, but occasionally I want the linked-to page to appear in the full window."
3. "I want the linked-to page to appear in a new window"
4. "Can I run a function from the menus?"

   The above count as a single question, as the answer is the same.

5. "I don't like the mouseover method of displaying the menus. I'd rather click on the link."

This page has two menus in the left column. Show them by clicking the links. The first menu contains links to non-http URLs. The second has links that run script statements.

Click the form button in the left column to see the frame-specific questions answered.

First, let's pop those menus with a click.
