hi im trying to get a mouse over hover link pop out menu that pops out
horizontal to the right. i have looked at fair bit of coding on the
w3schools.com site which they have similar things that i wish to do but not
the same and not sure how to changing the coding. below is the code i am
currently using and the website im trying to change things on is
www.mdhs.com.au. can anyone help me alter my code so i can have a pop out
menu on the right when someone puts mouse over with another 5-6 links to pop
out (links to be pics preferable) or if someone knows any programs that can
do this it would really help.

loadImage10 = new Image();
loadImage10.src = "http://www.mdhs.com.au/links/ideas2.gif";
staticImage10 = new Image();
staticImage10.src = "http://www.mdhs.com.au/links/ideas.gif";

<a href="http://www.mdhs.com.au/ideaslibrary.html"
onmouseover="image10.src=loadImage10.src; window.status='Ideas Library';
return true;" onmouseout="image10.src=staticImage10.src; window.status='';
return true;">
<img name="image10" src="http://www.mdhs.com.au/links/ideas.gif" border=0
width="189" height="26"></a>

If you want a simple tool that does the job try
http://www.coffeecup.com/free-dhtml/

There are lots of other tools that can create sophisticated effects, eg.
http://software.xfx.net/utilities/dmbuilder/index.html

This can be done is CSS too, which has the advantage that users with
JavaScript turned off (fewer these days) don't lose the menus. The following
sites should help.

Are you are saying that DMBuilder does what you want? If so then it does
allow changing of backgrounds as required. It creates the JavaScript files
for you and gives instructions on how to install the menus. It's an
excellent bit of software.
