An apology

It turns out that the Javascript on PHP.net mentioned previously was not deliberately obfuscated to protect the code from prying eyes; it was merely compressed to reduce the size of the script. See this comment for further details. I’d like to apologise to the maintainers of PHP.net for jumping the gun on this issue. Incidentally, the unobfuscated code is now available in CVS.

That's a lovely functional piece of javascript, and I applaud it. Has anyone ever seen/tried the same thing for a drop-down menu?

The link to the "unobfuscated code" is NOT located at: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpweb/functions.js.txt At http://cvs.php.net/phpweb/functions.js All versions are obfuscated. Any ideas?
