Drop down menu snippet

Try this on for size ... DropMenu was built to make generating the html automatic for menus like the first one below. (When using the right calls of course!) This was done by my good buddy John Gallant who I did the Mac testing for on the article:

http://www.positioniseverything.net/css-dropdowns.html

Note that you can even hover off of the menus a little bit and still maintain their dropped down state. Very cool stuff!

Another CSS menu is a bit more crazy and is on a customer’s site: http://landplan.net/ It shows 4 or 5 different techniques and variations of styling UL based navigation, including the last double column. That’s a MODx site, too, using an early precursor to DropMenu. Could do that one now without having to hack up the code in DM I think.

That’s GORGEOUS!

Wow, that landplan menu is fantastic... very impressive.

I’ll have another go with dropmenu, thanks for the links.

Might I suggesst never trying to reproduce a menu like landplan... I was determined to make it work and there are SO many tricks employed to getting it to do so and also are what spurred the commented out force stuff at the bottom of the main htaccess file... causes images to stop flickering on hover in IE... andother one of it’s nice "features"

I wouldn’t know where to start! LOL!

Actually, it’s not all that difficult to conceptualize...I would use four DropMenu snippets, one for each section, and have each section in its own section in the document tree. I think that site should win some kind of award. It is absolutely stunning.

Thanks... the designers indeed did a very nice job

I suspect that you had something to do with it as well.
