for example, I have a link on my site that says photos, but when I rollover the link I want a sub menu list to pop- up under that, giving people a choice between residential photos, comercial photos, and industrial photos. Can anyone explain this to me with the program Dreamweaver?

    Hi, You will need to go into code view to accomplish this (ie, you can't use WYSIWYG mode). There are two methods, one is very easy but not good for accessibility (particularly by search engines). The second method is much more advanced but is the prefered method of professionals. The first method uses java script. I haven't tried it but there is a dropdown menu generator at http://javascript.internet.com/generators/drop-down-menu.html Alternatively search any search engine for 'javascript dropdown menu' and you will find a wealth of other examples. The second option is what's known as a suckerfish menu, which uses CSS, the best place to find out about suckerfish style menus is at http://alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ - but I warn you, it gets pretty technical and is a very longwinded process. If you need any further help feel free to drop round at http://www.codingforums.com and ask in the HTML/CSS forum, or send me a PM - my user name is Pennimus.

    If you don't know much about Dreamweaver or hand coding sites you can always get extensions made for DW that do the feature that you need. Here is a link to a DW extension that allows you to create sub-menus.
