[ic] Dynamic Locales & moving menus

[David Berry]

Hi All

I've spent close on 3 days trying to solve these problems with little success.

1) allowing the customer to select his/her locale of choice.

I can do it by manually placing by [setlocale en_US] at the top of the 
templates, but can't find a way of doing it dynamically.  The problem is I'm 
new to both perl & IC ... changing variables is ok, but passing them, or 
storing and retrieving them is proving problematic. 
I'd like to use a few flags and let the customer click on them to choose.
I've tried <a href ...></a>, [bar-button][/bar-button, etc. but can't get the 
values passed.

2) I've got over 50 items in my menu (too much to expect customers to read 
through) so, I would like a way of showing just the area items, and when 
selected, to expand to show the category items.
I suspect that I need to use javascript here (not too much of a problem) but 
I'd rather not introduce another scripting language if it can be done with 
perl or IC tags.

The first problem is so basic that your probably laughing by now, but believe 
me, I'm at the crying stage.

Plz ... help!
