The HTML for the script should merely be a regular HTML list with a class="flipMenu" declaration. Inside flipmenu.js, you can configure the following variables:
// ## Degree of indentation from the left.
flipIndentation = "5px";
// ## Padding inbetween menu items.
flipVerticalPadding = "4px";
// ## Margin between the left of the browser and the menu.
flipLeftMargin = "16px";
// ## Margin between the top of the browser and the menu.
flipTopMargin = "10px";
// ## Allow multiple menus to fold out without closing all the other open ones.
flipOpenMultipleMenus = false;
// ## Preserve the current state of the menu (requires cookies).
flipSaveMenuState = true;
// ## Use custom images for bullets
flipImages = true;
// ## Images to use (specify full path)
flipImg_open = "flip_open.gif";
flipImg_closed = "flip_closed.gif";
flipImg_static = "flip_static.gif";
// ## Initialise all flipMenus onload
flipInitOnLoad = true;
// ## Message to display in status bar while loading
flipLoadingMessage = "Loading...";
