Write your ownn. You need to construct tables or a set of divs with
onclick() or onmouseover() events that actually cause the flyout, and
allow you to set a form variable depending on what has been onclicked()
ed. Then you can mark them hidden until the user clicks on a dummy
select box, and re-hide them if he clicks on a transparent layer that
covers the whole screen that lies 'underneath' them.
Its nasty because Old IE doesn't handle layers too well.
And also because old IE is a bitch to search at any speed, to identify
which elements you need to turn on and off.
(solved here by making a dynamically extended Javascript array of all
elements that are switched on, as they are switched on, and searching
just that).
My code is a bit too application specific to be useful here.
And belongs in a javascript group anyway.
