Drop-Down Menu help

Technical Website Design/Showcase
1

Hi all!

Ok, I want to put a drop-down menu with links on my team’s website, to make it less cluttered and easier to navigate. I’m using FrontPage (I didn’t want to, but our server requires it) and we know how to insert the menus, but we can’t add links. I read somewhere that you have to use a a java applet to add links. If that’s the case, then it looks like I’ll have some work to do. Any information and/or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I am just woundering what server you have that requires frontpage… I have never seen that, if you do not want to use it then it seems strange that you must.

We switched to a new server this year. We used to use Adobe GoLive and WS-FTP Pro to access our old server, but when we switched, they told us we can only access the server through FrontPage because the program has some sort of feature that no other program has. I don’t know the whole jist of it, but me and the other webguy hate it.

For the drop down try to use milonic (sp?) coding search for it on yahoo or Google they are great looking and easy to change, even in front page.

Well if its just for some feature that allows you to upload it, then you should be able to open another page in frontpage and upload it there.
I am not positive about frontpage specifics, but I believe you can do direct coding.
If you want to make it in another program, or do it on your own, you should be able to with frontpage direct coding, by just copying the code from the one place into frontpage

Yes, you can do direct coding in FrontPage - I believe you can also turn off all the autocoding features (which usually just mess up code)

Now what are you trying to do with the drop down menu? Something that lists everything, you select one and it automatically changes page?

Thanks too all who gave info, but we abandoned the drop-down menu idea. We instead went with scroll boxes. For those who want to see our site, it’s www.qcelite.com.
