Author cascading menus in perl??
Cat

Been using a cascading menu written in javascript but would like to convert this to perl so that on mouseover it drops down further options to click through.

Anyway I am sure you guys know what I am referring to.

Been looking into template toolkit and mason to do some other things but this will be part of what I am wanting to do with templates as well.

Can someone point me in the right direction with this one pls.

thanks

If you want something on the client to change in response to an action
then you either need to have the browser visit a new URL and send back a
different webpage or use client side scripting.

While you could do this in client side Perl, the number of users who are
using Internet Explorer AND have the PerlScript plugin installed are
minimal (and the subject is off topic for this mailing list anyway).

TT has a menuing system I think. There was also a semi-recent article on
Perl.com about menus as well.
