Drop down menus in Expression web
« on: December 22, 2010, 03:28:52 PM »

I  want to create a drop down menu that will link to 3 pages. I've created a jump down menu but i dont think it looked very good because i could not manipulate it in the way i want to and it was not in line with my other buttons. I've got a row of horizontal buttons and i want the third one along to be a drop-down menu, one that appears when you hover over the link. like at the top of the page when you hover over 'profile'

Does anyone know of any other way to make a drop down menu or point me in the direction of any good tutorials.

Thanks for your replies.

I found and used the 'wonderwebware' to create the menu, but once a put it in my site it throws up validation errors. But, i think i can compare it to the CSS on the 'threestyles tutorials' and see what i can change.

Have you got any ideas, it just keeps telling me 'the property value is marked invalid because it is not supported by the current schema', yet when i change the code in question it just goes bananas. I have not got the relevent experience, me thinks!

I use wonderware on my website
as for validation errors use HTML Tidy or
CSE HTML Validator Lite. Both have a firefox
version and both are free. Reason to use is they give
suggestions on corrections. Also the wonderware
has help info and FAQs.

Thanks again for the reply.

The problem is that the errors are in the css sheet that corresponds with the drop down menu. So the HTML Tidy and CSE HTML Validator Lite dont work for finding errors.

When i try and remove the errors the whole drop down menu becomes fully visible. Stumped!!

Visited the Wonderware site, cant find a FAQs section!
