Can I duplicate a menu like this?

Hi there! I love the simple look of the menu buttons on this page: http://graphicbull.com/

If you mouse over the :Our Services" box, a simple drop-down menu appears. How do you think I can come closest to duplicating this on Visual Site Designer? Is it possible? I was thinking it could appear using the mouseover option, but the mouseover option just wants both items to be the same size and shape or it doesn't work. When I got the trial of Web Forms, the dropdown option is just for forms. I can easily create the graphics for something like this if I have to, but can't figure out if I can make it work.

I like the simplicity of VSD, but wonder if it's TOO simple? :) Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Yes you can make a menu behave like what you see. Take a look at the source code and set yours up in the same way. You'll be using a HTML box.:)

What Eric said. What you do is bring up that site, then 'right-click' and select 'View Source'. Then scroll down till you see the source of the menu. You'll have to change it for the menu options and graphics that you want to use, but the basic layout will be the same. :cool:

The source code will show the HTML, but you'd have to dig deeper within the Wordpress theme to find the CSS for it. Without the styling, it's just a list.
(By the way, here's the theme used for that site:

But there's another way! :lol:

if you need an easy way to make the css sheet or menu, I just used cssmenumaker.com/ for my site in my sig. Took a bit of school of Roloff to get it to work but at least it gave me the code I needed lol.
