BODY JavaScript

The following script loads the drop down menu to the Webpage. This script should be placed immediately after the <body> tag.

Table HTML

The Quick Links Bar is set up in a table format. The bar is set to 760 pixels wide, allowing it to display properly on monitors set to a
screen resolution of 800x600 or higher. If you prefer using style sheets for the presentation of the bar, you may create your own styles.

The drop down menu is set up with links to the Campus Master Plan, Directions to Campus, Job Opportunities, Libraries, and
LSU General Catalog. The link opens may be customized by editing the JavaScript in the document HEAD.
