onMouseover drop down menu...........

[Guest_imported]

Hey,
I need to find out how to design an onMouseover drop down menu (like the one at microsoft.com) using dreamweaver. Can someone point me to a tutorial, or give me an example of how to do that. The user must move their mouse pointer over the menu, and have all the options drop down.
Thanks

I made a menu same as you are asking for above in Dreamweaver using layers and behaviours. Problem is, it only works in IE5 (not sure about netscape). If you would like more info then let me know but if you are looking for something which will work on older browsers (and netscape) then I may not be able to help.

I created a menu dropdown with layers. Turning them on and off and I used this code in the head tag to make netscape respond,

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
ns4 = (document.layers)? true:false
ie4 = (document.all)? true:false
// Show/Hide functions for non-pointer layer/objects
function show(id) {
if (ns4) document.layers[id].visibility = &quot;show&quot;
else if (ie4) document.all[id].style.visibility = &quot;visible&quot;
}
function hide(id) {
if (ns4) document.layers[id].visibility = &quot;hide&quot;
else if (ie4) document.all[id].style.visibility = &quot;hidden&quot;
}
//-->

Then alot of javascript hide and show in the body.

Hope that will help.

I've just got Fireworks 4 and this has a really easy step by step process for creating drop down menus with examples and tutorials, you may want to give it a look?!
