Expanding Menus

I'm not sure where to place this query, so I'll start here...

I need to implement a menu that opens and closes to reveal submenus. This is quite common in ASP, but I need an efficient way to do it in PHP.

Code:

1. Category 1--click-->1. Category 1
2. Category 2               A. Subitem A
3. Cagetory 3               B. Subitem B
                       2. Category 2
                       3. Category 3

If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.

tks...jon

Thank you for your reply, but I'm thinking more to do it with PHP so that there will be no Javascript dependency. I am still a bit afraid to make the main menu in a commercial website be dependent on javascript and the DOM. Any comments on this?

I can't see how this can be achieved in php while the page is already loaded. Besides, this menu is not dependent on javascript - if the visitir has it switched off then all of the submenus show up.

in order to make any expandable menu...you have to use JavaScipt. Do you want CSS based or DHTML?
