HTML Drop Down Menus?????

[steveguberman]

For the life of me I can't figure out how to build drop a down menu (not the dumb grey box kind either), the kind that you roll over to give the next level???

PLEASE HELP

get a copy of fireworks, you can download a copy from http://www.macromedia.com, and check out the built in dhtml menu generator.

it's pretty clunky code but it's browser safe and very robust.

you could always learn how to create your own but it ain;t easy

aversion do u know how to write them?

yeah, i guess i could, but it would mean a lot of work and would certainly be no better than the one in fireworks, or any of the many available on the net.

i'm pretty good at js and css stuff but you should ask someone like 'musicman' (i think that's his nick) in the scripting forum, he's a real pro from what i've seen.

is JS and Fireworks theonly two ways to fo it?

hiya,

call me conservative, but i advise against any code
not generated by hand (and mind). i have to admit i
don't know the code fireworks generates, but i think
if you want to have dynamic menues, you should take
the time to learn how to customize an existing and
known-good code by your own.

two resources to find anythink you might need for this
are:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/

http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/


besides, customizing a dhtml drop down menue isn't the
hardest thing on world...

good luck
