I want links like the ones CB has. I have absolutely no idea what they're called. I think there used to be a script on here at some point in time, by I couldn't find it today... sad.gif

The links I'm talking about are the ones that say
"Layouts, Graphics, Scripts, Tutorials, Affiliates, Tracker, Members, Forums"

When you hover them, there is a drop down of even more links...

How do I do that? I did search Google, and I found some similar to that, but they only worked in Firefox sad.gif


Help would be appreciated biggrin.gif

I don't think you'll be able to find a dropdown-menu code that doesn't require uploading a JavaScript file. Never mind, found one.

You mean like a purely CSS drop-down menu? This could work:
CODE
.navigation, .navigation * { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; }
.navigation { line-height:1em; }
.navigation ul { position:absolute; top:-999em; width:10em; }
.navigation li { float:left; position:relative; }
.navigation li:hover { visibility:inherit; }
.navigation li:hover ul { left:0; top:1em; z-index:99; }
.navigation li li { width:100%; }
.navigation a { display:block; position:relative; }

And the HTML:
CODE
<ul class="navigation">
  <li><a href="#">Link 1</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Sub Link 1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Sub Link 2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Sub Link 3</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Link 2</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Sub Link 1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Sub Link 2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Sub Link 3</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

That is the code I tried that worked perfectly in Firefox, but stupid ole IE wouldn't accept it. sad.gif

Thanks, though.

IE sucks anyways. I wouldn't really worry about anything working in there, lol.

Is this alright for closing then? Because if that didn't work, I'm afraid you most likely won't find another CSS-based dropdown menu code that's compatible on all major browsers. Sorry.

It works in IE8. IE8 isn't so bad anyway, and Microsoft is donating 8 meals to charity for every download of IE8.

I could probably tweak it so it works in earlier versions...

I thought I was using IE 8, but I'll check again. Thanks.
