    Menu's
    « on: February 10, 2009, 07:17:48 PM »
    I'm trying to learn web design I seem to have most of HTML and CSS down but I want to learn more. I'd like to know how to make menu's like the top of the page hover over drop down menus using Javascript CSS. Menu's that you just put your mouse over and they drop down would I do that with CSS, javascript or VB? Is their a good site to learn from or a book someone could recommend.

      thats most done in javascript but you can do it in frames as well.  Frames works better if you have more links.  You can also do it in a table wich is less of issues being proned.

      Frames suck. Big time. If your using frames, your probably also using a bad design.

      Additionally, I don't believe frames have the inherent ability to:

        Frames are the worst thing that's there in HTML.

        Bad design is just a start.

        You are unable to print the page properly with frames. The browser doesn't know which one you want to print so it just picks one out of the 3 or 4 on the page.

        Also, search engines react pretty much the same as the browser.

            1. increased maintenance.(each frame is it's own HTML file, which will have it's own codependencies with Scripts and CSS and so forth)

            2. Browser compatibility

            3. gross

            4. amateurish

                true to that but you can make it more glamorous and make them think that you know what your doing if you dont and makes it look really good if you do it right.

                What? No it doesn't! It does the complete opposite.

                Anytime I visit a site built with frames I don't stay on it long. It just has that feel to it and I can tell straight away if it uses frames or not.

                  useing dreamweaver.  Why it can look real good but can cause confusion and such if they dont spend time to do it.

                  dreamweaver is barely a step above frontpage IMO.

                  Both create a lot of unnecessary cruft in the HTML page, all of which needs to be downloaded. Either way, IIRC dreamweaver uses CSS for most of the navigational menu placement- not frames.

                    alot of people dont use that.  True but if you understand the code you can edit it.   I'm not adviseing it for the begginers or anything.
