The link shows a menu design I really like, is it possible to do something similar in VSD without a huge amount of faffing about?

The sub menu needs to remain hidden until the mouse clicks over the main menu item concerned.

I would try a CSS menu. You can take a look at the site in my signature. There's a small example there. Also Google CSS menu generator as there's plenty of them on the net.

Here's one:

That's a nice compact one. It behaves all most exactly like the sample.

I've found a lot of "goodies" on Dynamic Drive.
I've got your site bookmarked, too

That seems to be the same one that Greg liked on that site he mentioned. Should be a straight forward thing in VSD. Since I like coding, I would first create it in the HTML editor, and when I have got it the way I want, transfer the bits and bobs to VSD.

Hi Inger, it may look straightforward to you but I am a bit confused though will keep trying it out.
Given as there is a deal on the HTML Editor at the moment would using that make it simpler for me to do it?

Greg, I've found the Editor to be really handy. I like to add things to my VSD sites (slideshows, scrolling divs...). With no previous coding experience, it wasn't difficult to figure out how to do what I wanted to with it. And, it's easy to preview what you're doing, so you know it works and looks the way you want before you add it to VSD.
As to VSD, it's (usually) pretty easy to add scripts and code snippets to it. Seems a lot of things come in 3 sections:
Some code for the header (Edit > edit Header – copy/paste the code here)
Your files (Edit > Add Files – lets you browse to your file, click to add)
Code for the actual page/body (use the HTML tool to drag out a box on the page, then paste code in it)
Then there'll be some adjusting to get the positioning just right, but that's a quick overview for you

I'd jump on the Editor deal It will allow you to do so much more with VSD... and if you ever want to code something from scratch (no VSD), it's a great tool to have

Paintbrush, Thanks for that, will go for it as I am trying to learn a bit of HTML anyway.

The bit that really confuses me with that menu you suggested is the part where he talks about:
droplinebar.css (inside this file, confirm the paths to the two blue gradient images below)
droplinemenu.js (inside this file, confirm the path to the arrow image below)

What is that all about?

A good bit of "ambassadoring" by the way

Hiya Greg,

Although I don't have the files to look at, I can tell you that what that means is to open the files mentioned in a text editor (not anything like Word or Wordpad, make sure it's a raw text editor like Notepad, Notepadd++ or Textpad types). Look then for a line that shows the location of the files they are mentioning so for the first example of the blue gradient images, they want to make sure you have the right pathway to those images where they reside online for your site. Same for the arrow images.

Check where you have uploaded them and then look in those files (you can do a Find to find the names of the files which is much easier than trying to scan through the files visually to find it) and verify the paths are correct. This is basically to make sure that the site can find the images once you have it running.

Hope that makes sense and let us know
