Hi,

I am new to Coffeecup and creating sites in general and I could use a lot of help! I have designed a page with a navigation bar, I want to make drop down menus for the navigation bar to go to different pages. How do I do this? Say I create the code in html, how do I get the code to work in VD? Step by step would be great or any help at all. I dont have the drop down menu created yet, but when I try inserting html code in VD it doesnt come out anywhere close to correct.

There's several sites on the web that will let you design a CSS menu. Just Google it.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

im not worried about designing it...yet. Im more worried about implementing it. Once I have the code how do I get it to work?...For example, I have tried other code from others just to see how it works and it does not work correctly, from what I have done.

I have created my drop down menu in your software. When I preview, it looks good. But the problem is that I do not have the buttons working because I do not know where I need to navigate them to since my site is not up yet. Can you give me any direction? Thanks!!!

Thank you. I did read it, and it does help. But I am still unsure what I enter, and do I enter the code under url? I am using CoffeeCup Flash Menu Builder. I need to have something to show in preview before I put up on the web and I just can't figure out how to get it to work. Sorry!!!

On the menu tab in the flash menu builder enter you link where you see the http:// already started for you. You can enter that way:
example http://mydomain.com for you home page and for other pages whatever you named them after the one above:
example http://mydomain.com/myfirstpage.html.:)
