CSS Menu Help

[barrym67]

Hi there,

without having to search for a new forum, I thought I would post this here as an off-topic. I have been comissioned to make a website and I must admit that I am very new to CSS.

The client wants a vertical drop down menu such as the one that you will see on the Apple site: http://www.apple.com/startpage/

The menu is on the left hand side (and the right) - when you click on a header box the menu drops down. I have seen one at simply the best scripts, but it is not a css based one like on the Apple page.

Can anyone please advise as to how I can achieve this or know of a link, I would appreciate any help, my client is very fussy.

Thanks a stack.

Thanks Hans

I did look at that page before and may have overlooked or missed something there. What I have done is save the Apple page - delete all unwanted text, graphics and links by process of emilination and kept testing the page to see if the menu still worked.

I then saw that it was dependant on a whole lot of .js files (as you said: javascript) - after examining these .js files I saw where they came from and now the whole problem is solved. Any person interested should take a look at this site: http://script.aculo.us/ and here is the download page http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Usage and the code is for free.

I should have done this in the first place. Thank you for your reply. Now the trick is getting this to work. The web is advancing so quickly I am getting left behind!

Am I missing something here? This is the worst navigation page I've ever encountered. Firstly I see no drop down menus, so perhaps that would be a good place to start.

I'm using windows XP Home and Firefox 2.0.0.6

I am serious, I just can't navigate this site.
