Title: Pop-up Menu (slide bar)
Post by: YoMOMA on December 22, 2007, 09:57:15 PM

I am a beginner at webpage building and I know just simple stuff because I mostly use dreamweave CS3. Well I am sorry if there is already such a topic on slide bar but I just couldn't find it. So what I wanted to ask is what is the code for a slide bar? Like when you mouse over some bar like for example HOME there will appear several other bars on the bottom or on the side for like computers, forums, etc... Well I wanted mainly to know that but I would rather know how can I create my own slide bar with dreamweaver or Fireworks or photoshop or anything. I hope someone has got any ideas that could be helpful. Thanks.  ;D

Hi Yo,

I am also pretty much a beginner.  I have looked into this for the page I am building though.  I believe it is called a pop up menu & if I remember correctly I didn't have trouble getting it to work.  Let me see if I can find the link . . .

Here is a suggestion for  dreamweaver.

Here is a suggestion that uses css that I ended up using because it seemed a lot less cluttered/more concise.

But I am not sure that IE supports the hover command.  I think there is a work around but I haven't looked that up yet.

Good Luck

Kate
