How can I create a large dropdown menu?

Hi all, how can I create a large dropdown menu like this one? http://www.easyjet.com/nl

I use mega menu: http://designmodo.com/create-css3-mega-menu/.

It is possibly easier to do the same in native Xara with layers but this is less flexible.

Hi Marcia

I am working on an opencart site for a client and in order to show them the look of it I created the basic design in xara webdesigner first and to replicate a mega menu I used layers and it works really well. Hover over the women's and shop by brand tabs to view it

Hi Marcia

As Sketch says, you can do this with layers.

See attached .web file. Preview the page then click the button that says Large Menu.

Each of the six buttons on the new Menu layer I created has a mouse over effect.

I can't open your attached file Gary, since lately I cannot afford any upgrades, I'm still working in XDP7... Please send this private to me (or is this too selfish?)

It should open after all the messages to the contrary. But, try this one

[MarciaB]

Yes this opens.. I'll show you the result (if I succeed..) Thanks again

PS I don't have Webdesigner installed...

It does not make any difference.
