Tx Andy! // 13-Sep-1999 :: New sindex() call checks for unselected parent menu option // 09-Sep-1999 :: Technique extended to allow 2,3 or more levels with only // one relate() function (a feature requested by Andy ;) // 20-Jul-1999 :: IE4+ bug fix (Thanks Peter!) // 23-Apr-1999 :: Use an entirely different method for menu setup // Array name isn't hardcoded in the relate() function, // so several URPMs can be embedded in the same page // Fixed a couple of bugs
