Hi All –

I’ve successfully downloaded and modified the XML Based Drop Down Menu from Kirupa (thanks a TON for breaking it down so well in the tutorial).

The only thing I wish it did was allow me to step through each node by using the left and right arrow keys. Has anyone tried modify the existing Drop Down Menu script to do that? Everything I’ve seen about XML looks like I’ll have to write crazy loops that I just don’t get…

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
