Patty, go ahead and use the CSS menu maker in The HTML Editor, then you'll be able to add it to VSD. There's a tool for inserting HTML in the left-side menu. Eric has instructions on his site:

I have made the menu using the CSS Menu maker, and when I add the code to my VSD created site, what happens is...the menu appears as a bullet-ed list on my web page, obviously that is not what I want. This has been driving me crazy. I will try to add it using the directions from Eric.

That worked!!!! Thank you SO much, I asked in my support room and could not get a workable answer!!! Now the problem I'm having is that when you go to the menu and the sub-menu drops down, over other stuff on the page the sub-menus are opaque, and you see the stuff behind, which makes the text hard to read, I have aligned the menu on top of everything else so it works but how do I make it not see through? If that makes sense.

Any text box's that the menu intersects with when it expands will need to be made into advanced text so you can set the "Object" "Arrange" "Send to back" settings.:)

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

First I make them in cement then through some mystical process they turn in to sites in concrete.;)
