[Javascript] any ideas on menu control?

[Håkan Magnusson]

Well, for siblings you have element.nextSibling/previousSibling. 
Remember that there are more than element nodes in your DOM, like text 
nodes. You will have to check to nodetype of the node you are looking at.

                        element.parentNode
                                |
element.previousSibling <-- element --> element.nextSibling
                               /
                element.firstChild -> element.firstChild.nextSibling ...

Regards,
Hakan
