DHTML Slide Out Menu Code

This script is an entire webpage by itself. Open it up into a blank webpage and try it out. You can then add your content around it. Basically, you can have 5 different "layers" which switch when the user clicks on the appropriate links. You can adjust the links, colors, and text below.

Run well on HTML 4.01 Transitional.
