AnyLink Select Box Hide Solution

[bfisher]

Script: AnyLink Drop Down Menu
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pmenuindex.htm

I've been struggling with this one for a while, but I think I've got a solution for hiding select boxes in the AnyLink menu script. I've integrated in some JS that I found on http://www.codetoad.com/.

I've got it working in my particular scenario, but you may want to test it for yourself. Let me know how it works.
