You could probably build that with a combination of Rollover (for the butons) and Target Show/Hide Layer for the various option areas. Build up a stack of option layers, apply TSHL to each one, each set to a different target number. Then on your rollover buttons, set each one to trigger a different target number, and fool with the various settings – I am guessing Sticky will do what you need here.

Hello Walter! I hope you’re well!

Interesting! I have a question on this too: Could the various options areas build up using the TSHL include these submenus with rollovers and links too?

thanks,

Marcus

That gets to be a bit more complex. I suspect yes, but it might become overwhelming to produce and maintain. Systems like this one tend to be programmatically built, starting from a nested structure like a JavaScript Hash or some other data structure, and then generating the menu from that by following some simple rules. I did a cascading tree menu once that did this, meant to ape the look of the Mac Finder in columns view.

When the page loads, you see the entire list of options. But once you click the gray bar at the top of the page, you see the full effect.

Hi David, very interesting this link of the CSS3 Mega Drop Down Menu you posted. I want to give it a try and research more on this. Based on your previous knowledge of using this, what’s the difficult level of building this in Freeway?

I found another link here at Nettuts but I’m not sure it’s the same thing: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/how-to-build-a-kick-butt-css3-mega-drop-down-menu/

Very similar - difference being that my example is full width.

I haven’t looked at recreating it in FW but rather take the code, modify it and use it as Markup in FW.

I suspect it could be built entirely within FW but if you have the code already…

Post a link to what you have so far and we can probably see where you have gone wrong.

Hello eus!
No, not yet. Actually, I haven’t started it either because I got something more urgent to work that came up, but will do it as soon as I can.

Good look
