CSS Menus.

Howzit guys.

Was wondering, I want to make some menus, like drop down ones. Mouse clicks on a button, then a another drop menu appears with extra links on it.

How do I exactly do this? :confused:

Thanks!

By spending several hours pouring through all the tutorials and examples listed at http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ or http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/

Thanks for the first link MadMossy. Will look at that. I'm trying to make a drop-down vertical list for a website.

Please don't use that site, it's abysmal.

LOL. In terms of its appearance or have you used it?

Have you seen the code it generates for the menus? Urgh

Better off using something like: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/droptabmenu.htm

No, I haven't seen the codes. Thanks for the heads up though!

I'll check the suggested linky.

As will I.

I haven't looked at the code the generator makes but it talks about cells so I'm guessing it creates a table-based menu, which isn't great.

But what really made my jaw drop was it's use of an image map for it's own navigation - I thought that had died out years ago, particularly on sites supposedly about web design.
