hyperlinks question

[JoeyMichelle]

I can't remember how to set up a list of hyperlinks for a project I'm
working on. I think it involves an "onclick" command. What I'm trying to
do is to have a list of links that when clicked on give you a sublist of
links. For example:

Michigan
Missourri
New Mexico

can all be clicked on and when you click on Michigan a list appears below
Michigan with links to pages like Detroit, Lansing & Grand Rapids.

When you click Missourri, the open list under Michigan would close and a
similar list would appear under Missourri.

Can anyone help?

You want your page to be dynamic. This is a javascript question. Ask in
news:comp.lang. javascript or see for a quick example:

A poor example, because readers without Javascript cannot get to the
underlying links.

For a better example, see http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/mktree/

Though for something just slightly different, which you might like
better when you've seen it, try

That page uses :hover on <li> elements, which only some marginally used
browsers support. No dependance on javascript at all, woohee! But it must be
possible for the major browsers to read the css rules and build some
onmouseover event handlers on the fly. Has anyone tried that yet?

Hmm. It was just a JS example without proper HREF attribute values; thats all.
Same thing, but with (some) more usefull values:

Not really, but to give (another) silly example in such a direction ;) :

Not exactly the same thing, but it could be adapted:
