Solved Drop down navigation menu

Post by gwbcb September 27th 2009, 12:45 am

Is there a way to create a drop down navigation menu on my forum? For instance if I move my mouse cursor over top of of the different bars in the drop down navigation menu, a few things will pop down below it that I can add in/change. If so, how? Can you be very descriptive if there is a possible way, I am not very good with computers Razz

And if I posted this in the wrong section feel free to move it Razz

See if the *Drop-Down Menu Wizard is what you need.

If it is... create your menu & post the code here.

We'll help you create a widget.

<form>
<select onChange="PopUpName=window.open('','PopUpName');PopUpName.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';color:#000000;background-color:#FF9900;font-size:10pt;">

</select>
</form>


Here is the first one, I didn't want to over bombard you with a bunch of things. What I had in mind was removing some of the forum categories and replace them with these drop down menus. I was thinking drop down menus something like this: Click me if we can get something like that, that would be great! Very Happy

Thanks in advance Smile

Try the menu in your homepage message...
Go to: Admin Panel > Display Homepage > Generalities
Place the code in "Message content" (save)

Also.... try creating a new forum, add the code to the forum's
description field (save) & see how it looks on your index page.

The best buy style menus you mentioned are tricky.
Learn how to *create an Html page on your forum 1st.
That will give you a head start on using those types of menus.

Thanks a lot and I appreciate your time, however if there is just one more thing you can do I would love it Very Happy

I added to drop down menus perfectly fine on my website. However they are stacking below each other Razz Is there a way to make them side by side? Very Happy

Thanks in advance Wink

Code:
<center><table style="border: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;"><tr><td>
<form><select onChange="location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';color:#000000;background-color:#FF9900;font-size:10pt;">

Each form begins with <td><form> and ends with </form>/<td>
(there is one space to separate forms)

Example
Code:
<center>
<table style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<tr>

<td><form>Content</form></td> <td><form>Content</form></td>

</tr>

<table></center>
If you need an additional row later on...
Rows begin with <tr> and end with </tr>.
