[ic] Need help with ic tags, creating dynamic javascript menus

[Nicholas Cook]

Would anybody know the location of the Tips and Tricks article by Mike 
Heins mentioned in the below conversation.  I've tried searching for it 
but can only find references to it, not the actual article.

Thank you,
Nicholas Cook
