Hi all,

First off, I have to say I'm really beginning to like Drupal, it's the first CMS I've tried, and it came highly recommended.

Secondly, and the point of my posting, I'm having a very hard time configuring dropdown menus to work in the PushButton Template. I've been trying to use the Horizontal CSS Menu's as described in the link, without any luck. I don't know where I would put the actual html code for the drop down links, nor how I would make it NOT try to apply the same drop downs to the menu in the footer?

Is this possible? Is there a work around? Or am I banging my head against a brick wall and should stop wasting time?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts...

Hi Shadowbox,

I did it, it is possible to get a horizontal dynamic menu navigation.
Look at this post http://drupal.org/node/36377

I used the suckerfish dropdowns www.htmldog.com and successfully implemented it into Drupal.

It is explained fully in Eric Meyer's "More Eric Meyer on CSS". Try to get hold of the book, or look at Chapter 6 specifically.

I use a vertical menu technique, because it suits my purposes, but later in the chapter he explians how to adapt it to a horizontal menu.

The way to extract the menu information is explained in this node...

...There is also a site which explains a simpler technique of extracting menu info...

...which probably suits horizontal menus better.

My site is undergoing changes currently, but you can see the menu in action there www.comformark.com

Good luck!
