Since my friend doesn't know php, is there an simple html alternative that allows a scrolling pop out menu like the one at the top of the page?

What website would you recommend so that she could learn how to program something like this site (if it came down to using php)?

Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

it might be powered on serving images with PHP. but you can do that with javascript. There are also several javascript frameworks that do that easily.

http://www.dojotoolkit.org has a image gallery widget. So do a few others.

another good one...would need some tweaking though to make it exactly how you want.

take a look through the Photo Galleries section of this page
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/

PHP doesn't have anything to do with the menu. PHP is all server-side. The menu pop out is client-side - it needs to be CSS or JS

The site in the first post uses an out of the box script, jCarousel. It can work with several platforms, but in this instance, it's working with an external java scriptlet. View the tutorial for the script here:

The script for the base functionality as used on the original site is here:

The script for the hover functionality is here:
