Converting to Drupal

Hi all, I'm new to drupal and to this forum. I wanted to create a website that behaves like this.

I have four main sections i my website. this mains sections can be accessed using four top menu items. these four main sections have subsections with them. is it possible with drupal that, when i click on any of the main menu, the corresponding sub menu should be displayed on the left. both the corresponding main menu item, & the item selected on the left should be highlighted.

I'm accustomed to building websites from the ground up using databases to store information. Is Drupal going to make life easier when building a business website that needs to display current inventory and "products we build"? (The type of content/products will be mini storage buildings.)

Hi,

I currently have a site that's running of Tribal CMS, and after receiving some negative feedback from other peolpe who edit the page. i was thinking of changing CMS, now i wanted to know
a) how easy a job is it to change CMS specify from tribal to drupal?
b) what kind of problems am i likely to encounter?

Thank you for any help

Is there an easy way to do this??? Is there a way to preserve urls???

Thanks.

I want to get a list including all articles with taxonomy-terms including 'web'. So an article with 'webdesign' or webdevelopment'
should be shown.

i've no idea how to do this :(

any idea?

I'm working on converting a site to Drupal and the only section that is giving me some troubles right now is a section that needs users to authenticate before seeing the content there. The rest of the site is fully accessible to the public. I would like to use HTTP Auth to access this protected section and make sure that users have to authenticate to view it. What would be the best way of going about this. I looked at the HTTP Auth module and it doesn't seem to do exactly what I want. I've also looked at creating a custom module to provide a new page type or at least a new menu call back.
