Javascript Menu

[Mathias Nilsson]

Hi all!
I'm trying to make a javascript menu that don't have a limit in how many children it can have.
I don't want to use layers since i have to make a own scrollbar. ( If the menu expands you can't see the entire menu ).
So i've desided to make the menu in the frameset and then go parent.menu.paint() from the frame.
My biggest problem is that I can't get my adding a child to a parent thing to work. How do you make a linked list in javascript?
I don't want a URL to a complete meny since I like to do it myself but it's difficult to know how to linked the parents and children in a menu.
Please help!

I know you do not want a url to a menu, but the HV menu goes into other frames...

but I can not help you since i have no idea what code you are using to have a relationship between the parent and the child.

Something like this
I create a Object like this

function Menu(){
 this.items = new Array();
 this.addItem = addItem;
}
function addItem( parentId , id , link , name ){
   this.items[ this.items.length ] = new menuObject( parentId , id , etc... )
}
function menuObject( etc.. ){
}

I would like every menuItem to be a object and to have it's own paint method and so on. The problem is that i don't know how to do the loop and to paint the whole menu ....
by the way... the menu I looking for is something like the one used here.
I developed the site myself but I can't figure out how to make the menu in more than one step.
