 * EasySubMenu v0.2
 *    Written by: Daan Eeltink (http://www.daantje.nl)

 *
 *    Documentation:
 *        This script can popup a DIV width some links.
 *        The width and position of the DIV are calculated from
 *        the object you point. This can be any object with an ID
 *        parameter. Than the function getSubMenu looks for a
 *        simular array value, drops it into the DIV and makes it
 *        visible. It's realy easy ;) It should work on MSIE >= 5
 *        and Mozilla >= 1.3 or better.
