Its made with flash, not JavaScript.

You can do similar with JavaScript thou, but not always compatible on all versions of browsers.

Yeah, it is javascript. It is a script called netbar.js. I did a quick search and couldn't find the script on the web. Why don't you do like Jack suggested. You can also take a peak at his script to see how he did it. He also uses some pretty extensive stylesheets. You should keep in mind that js will not work on every browser and some people actually turn it off to prevent pop-ups. So if you do have a menu like that, make sure that you also have an alternative way for the less fortunate.

I think the original post was inquiring about the flash nav bar I see in the top righ corner... the one that uses this code:

Welcome to Gameplanet -- the place to play games, talk games and meet gamers.

farther up in the code, I did find:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/netbar/netbar.js"></script>
but the source seems to also print code for a .swf

quick lession on.... 'barrowing' code.
When you find a path to an included .js file, copy and paste the path into your address bar. You'll get a prompt that says 'Run from location' or 'Save to disk'...
