Floydian Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Re: Main Menu help! Drop down, and fly out menus are one of the hardest design elements to master. I recommend checking out YAHOO YUI, specifically the Menu components. They do most of the formatting work for you. You can see examples of YUI Menus, and all of it's documentation here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/menu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Re: Main Menu help! http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ They have drop down menus as well and they tell you how to do it! or you could Google something like "CSS Menus" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Re: Main Menu help! Two words of caution when using css style sheets and html markup for these menus. Browser differences. IE doesn't support the onhover event on anything except for the a tag. Document Type Almost all of these css drop down menus fail in IE if you aren't using an XHTML doc type. YAHOO solves these problems by providing an API that normalizes these things, which is why I recommend it. Of course this means that css based drop down menus are good to use, but you should be aware of the potential pitfalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
