Drop Down Menu

Kappar

Not sure if this should go here if not feel free to move it.

I would like to add a menu like the one above to my site.

Can any one tell how it was created is there a tool you can get (Hopefully FREE ) or was it coded from scratch?

I would like to make it Dynamic if possible, With the i know of PHP and getting the Dynamic elements from MySQL DB can it be done?


Thanks

hmmm ... as far as i know its done through java script... its something ive been trying to do for the past while..

u may want to scan through some of the free script webpages for possibly some freebies or just leech it off any site that has them and edit them for your needs

So you want to be able to create a dynamic menu, that is generated based in content pulled from a DB. That shouldn't be a problem. Some people often get confused when they think about Java scripting. The reason is this; people see web apps (coded in PHP, Java, etc) as only being able to produce HTML output. That's not true, you can output what you like, and that includes javascript. So if a web app can output dynamic html, it can output dynamic java script. So by producing dynamic java scripts you can have a dynamic menu system.

There are plenty places online that will offer you code to build menu's. The majourity use java script methods, and all you have to do is google some code up. I would get you some myself, but tbh there is so much out there it will only take you 2 secs to find something suitable on google.

So what I recommend you do is get some code examples for a menu, and edit it to make a template for yourself. Then have the web app use that template to throw up any kind of menu it likes.

If you have Dreamweaver on your pc there is one in that that you can use ... and you dont have to have a load of copyright crap in it either

That's because it's assumed that you've paid for right to use the code by buying Dreamweaver in the first place...

...or has Dreamweaver become freeware then :rolleyes:

there is a DHTML menu builder available. Its called SoThinkDHTMLMenu, made by Source Tec. You have to buy it, or get it other ways, like i did. tis a sweet easy program, and has a shed load of example menus.
