    Hi folks,
    I’m trying to research a solution that will allow me to accomplish the same functionality as used on this page:

    http://www.mortenson.com/ResourceSearchResults.aspx

    Where the drop down menu changes the displayed content below, there’s a lot of scripts and such going on in there, that I’m not at all familiar with enough to reverse engineer it. Are there other methods out there that would achieve the same effect, that would still work in IE6? reason for IE6 is it would be used on a site that is more B2B, and there’s a significant # of visitors hitting the site with IE6. The reason I’m looking to use a drop down menu, is that the # of options may exceed any horizontal space available for tabbed content. I’m not even really sure what to call this functionality to try and search on it?

    any help, greatly appreciated.

    *EDIT*
    I found this :

    I set up a test page with it, and it does what I need to, but I’m not familiar enough with the code to understand how I can populate the array with html coded content?

    You still need the help? I could write a solution fairly easily.
