I really like the buttons and the drop down feature this site has: http://www.cingular.com/

I want to use my own "image" (create a menu in photoshop).

I have been searching DAAAAAAAAAAAAYS on google.com and cannot come up with anything, probably because I don't know the correct 'term' for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Here is a list of navigational drop down menus and the like. Is that what you want?

Sorry to jump in here and change the topic - - However, I certainly would appreciate it if someone could explain the cingular page coding.

When I do a save as on the page all I get is text.... How are they displaying the page as it is viewed on the web?

By the way - In answer to the original question you can build a dropdown menu like Cingular's using Dreamweaver

Thanks

The "text" is what makes the page display as it does. That's why is called a markup language. It defines the way the page is displayed. The navigation drop down menus are created with javascript, not just by using dreamweaver. They can be pretty complex and require a good amount of code. You can find some samples out there which let you tweak the code. The best place to start is probably the link already provided in this thread. Or search DHTML menus in google.

I will have to check when I get home from work. Now I just have to find out which one I need to use.

I do not have the patience to learn dreamweaver.
Also, I would like to use my OWN jpeg.

Was the DHTML I sent you any good?

Also, I forgot to mention, why not use CSS to generate a drop down menu?
Here is one on my site made in CSS (titled justformonkey as I edited it for someone on this forum called Monkey).

Hi BravoGolf,

I like how you used CSS to do the drop down menu in the website above. Can you give me permission to learn and use some of your code for my website?

Of course you can! Share and share alike.
Take anything you want from my website.

If you have any questions, or would like access to server side language source code, just ask me here

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Hi,

Basically it is dhtml powered by javascript. I have a script where if you click on it you can have a drop down menu, but it can be edited to make it so it will drop down on rollover

So on these drop downs that are being offered I can use my OWN IMAGE? I haven't looked at the code yet. sorry.

Salvationdesign, could I see the script you are talking about? I sounds interesting

Yea, i will have to find it. but i will let you see it

Sorry it took me so long but i have attached the file. It is a text file in order for me to be able to upload it. Just change it to .html You just need to add a navigation bar picture. This script can be expanded to include more than one navigation bar. Enjoy!

Thanks bro. I had a look at the scripts and its cool. I need to trouble you a bit more though. Which part of the script do I bring in the navigation bar picture?

hmmm.... seems i'm a bit late on this but you can also find a css drop-down menu on Alistapart.com. there's one for vertical drop-downs and one for horizontal drop-downs.

i've user the suckerfish one on this site here - www.fcoutaouais.qc.ca - go ahead and copy the source and css if you want.

hth

edit: i should add that these uses CSS and a tiny bit of JS...

Thanks Karinne. Checked the site. I'm thinking how you could add roll over buttons instead of the default CSS/Javascript

kinda like what i'm doing here - http://www.karinnelegault.com/widows-walk/index4.php ? except i don't have a drop-down on this one but... same thing applies
