Hey guys,
Im pretty new to all this. Ive just started using dreamweaver at the moment to make a new website. But i was wondering if anyone knew how to make drop down menus from a main toolbar. For example, if you hover over Services, a list will drop with various links to other pages?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
CHeers guys.

If you can't find a link to drop down menus in Dreamweaver's files then it probably doesn't have any inbuilt codes; you will have to insert your own code from a tutorial somewhere.

have lots of free drop down menus to choose from. They are all pure CSS with no javascript although you can do them with javascript too.

Remember that pure CSS drop down menus need ActiveX in IE so if someone does not have this enabled the menu won't work. It is often advised to have a normal link say at the bottom of your page to a site map which has alternative links that don't need ActiveX for those people who have ActiveX disabled (possibly by an administrator so they can't enable it).
