I am trying to create a drop down menu on a horizontal navigation bar. I am trying to get it to when you hover over a root menu item, sub-root item(s) list drops down. I looked at sites on how to do it but can not seem to make it work. Here is the page I am working on... http://www.paperandclay.com/menu-test-021212.html

Thanks for the help

Hi pk,
Why not use the built in CSS menu designer in the CC html editor?:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Eric:

I tried that but it only gave me a vertical menu where the sub-root items are visible. Am I missing something in the CSS Menu Designer that would let me make it a horizontal menu, etc.?

Thanks

I would take another look because I have made menus like what your looking for.
Here's just one simple example.

Thanks. From looking at the example, it looks like I need to go into the css style sheet (which I just noticed at the top of the page) and work with that until I get what I want. Is that the case?

If I were you, I'd make a second style sheet, call it 'mymenu' or something. Link it to the html files below the other one. Any changes you make to the menu, the positioning etc should appear there, and you won't break up the original css.

Thanks Inger. I will try putting another style sheet below the one made with the CSS Menu Designer and play with that to see if I can get what I want.

Thanks Eric and Inger. I used the CSS Menu Designer to get pretty closet to what I want. Now I have a question about images in the menu but that will be another thread!
Thanks agian.
