drop menu

[jensmile]

Hi
Hi there

I need to do a drop menu with Dreamweaver 4 for my site.
In a nav bar, I have hidden submenus, which drop down (become visible) on mouseover on the main links (I am able to do it using layer behaviours and images. But this makes the page heavy. If I use plain text in the submenu and link them, then while over the space between two links, the action becomes "mouseout" and the layer disappears(as it is supposed to do on mouseout).

see exemple:

Best regards

Also, Check out the book Dreamweaver 4 Magic
It goes into drop-downs and fly-out menus.

Hope this helps

Hello friend,
This is a common problem..Well i overcame it successfully..Let me help u..

First, set action on the <td>(cell) of the table instead of the link..So when the mouse comes over the cell the layer has to be visible..

Secondly, don't forget to set behaviour on the layer onMouseOver to show and hide when out...


hope u solved it..

Regards..

There's an interesting exdreamweaver extension that does that. It even has a very cool swiping effect.

I got one and it's really easy to use.

Oh..I almost forgot my point. The menus are created dynamically so there's no messing with show-hide behaviors and layer placement.
