HTML or is it CSS?

How do I make a collapsing navigation that starts when you hover over an image and slides down and has links.

Im using Dreamweaver learning edition.

It's been 4 years since I've worked with Dreamweaver but i know what your talking about.

Try making a theme, they have them already built for you. Then change the colors and graphics to what you want. I guess...

You may want to look at some Java Scripts as well, there are several scripts that could accomplish what you are looking for. If you want to stick with CSS, I would recommend googling some hover menus and look through the code and take what you need and modify it to fit what you are trying to do.

Their is a program that you can layout what it is supposed to look at and it puts it in java code. Forget the name though sorry.

Yeah to implement this kind of navigation you'll need some Javascript code.

Here's one I grabbed from a super-quick Google search. It has all the HTML, CSS and Javascript code you'll need to make it happen.

What its basically doing is using some tricks in CSS and HTML, displaying or hiding certain block-level elements as you mouse over them. The HTML handles all the content, the CSS handles the appearance and the Javascript makes it dynamic.

Happy coding.

Oh yeah, tell me if I need to do the above things after this.

I am a noob at HTML, and this is for my school website. So not a template im thinking and the code would work but i dont know where to put it in the billion lines of code in my already HTML at school.

It depends on where you want it and what the code already looks like. I mean if you are wanting to use that as a navigation point for the whole site it would be different than if you were wanting it to be used just for one section like sports. Also it depends on whether you are using frames or not. Post a link to the site as is and maybe we could give you some suggestions.

[R4nd0M]

Yeah it depends on the site you're writing. I don't know why you'd be including dynamic stuff if you're as novice as you say you are but the Javascript goes in the header of the page, the CSS goes into the stylesheet thats linked to the webpage (or embedded in the header using <style>) and the HTML part goes where you want the banner. Since you're new, use tables and colspans to align your page and plop the banner into a single <td> wherever you want it to be.

I'd use either a form with a jump menu, or an image map with layers.
