with he list of country to choose. I want o do sth like that on my page, but I've just started to learn javascript,
and I have no idea how to do it...can enybody help me out?

How are you supposed to select a bleeding country? The square won't keep open

Hello and welcome,

Wow! this site is brilliant! I just had a look in Safari 3 beta, IE7, FF2 and Opera 9.20 and 9.50 alpha : the "popup" disapear when I move the mouse toward it. In IE7, I even got a JS error onload, and if you hover the Country text low enough, the cursor keeps toggling between pointer and cursor as Trident can't makes its mind whether to show or hide the list of countries. Awesome.

Seriously, web devs did this kind of ui-widget "behave" 8-10 years ago. It certainly isn't complicated to get this done using semantic and standard xhtml/css + js. And what's up with the onunload event listener to bookmark the page, is it 1996 all over again ?

Call me suspicious, but it looks like "smart" spam to me anyway...

suspicious? maybe. but you're so right.

do a google on some of the original post and it will show up in dozens of unrelated forums.

smart spam indeed, but still spam
