want to make drop down menu in dreamweaver

symbols · Sep 13, 2001

I'd like to make a mouseClick drop down menu in dreamweaver but still be able to take advantage the feature in dreamweaver which control open a new window and configure the window size, visibility of tool bar, menu... etc. I have tried Flash but that involved too much additional work to configure a dropdown button with that feature. I have heard Firework can do that but not sure if it can do exactly what I want. Anyone has any idea about this or how can I do it in Firework?

tks a million

The problem with creating a menu in fireworks is that when you wanna add more links or add more options you have to reconfigure the coordinates, and that can be a pain...
As for DW, their are alot cool extensions for creating menu's, including pop-ups and drop-down at the macromedia's site (and their free also)...
This a sample coding from one of the extensions, I also use this on my site (

Although this a great menu, it ONLY works for IE and not netscrap...ok?? But at macromedia's site they have others tha work for both NS and IE...
Hope I helped a little...
