good evening.
i am doing a website and am using the css menu functions. what i would like to do is have the menu choices go down. now that is easy but movinh the links that are underneath, i cant seem to do.
basicly, i want the menu choicrs to go down
and the other main links to make room for these sub choices… http://www.grassrootsweb.net/tlc
i also want to “curve” the menu to fit the tree trunk… any suggestions?
sorry for any sp errors. our block just lost power so i am emailing fro my cell.
thanks in advance
julie
As far as curving goes I think that using differing indents or non-breaking spaces in front of your menu items might work but will be difficult to control once the submenus appear.
I did the scripty accordion exactly - per instructions
I have uploaded what I have. The choices (in green) are not hiding -
each choice is a link to another page.
each of the indented are option return - and each of the main choices
are h2
ugh… something simple probably,

Ok, quick question - please…
what pops underneath - I can make as links to another page in the
site correct?
Can you post an example somewhere? Remember – option return does not
close a tag, it just inserts a <br /> tag. So you may actually have
created this bit of (never going to work) code:
<h2>Some text here<br />
some more text here<br />
some more text here<br />
and finally the last bit here</h2>

Try changing your settings in the Action so that the child element (to
be hidden and shown) is a UL. That’s the tag you are actually using
for your submenu elements. So trigger is H2 and Show/Hide element is UL.

but… When i have the words childcare programs as a link - it and I
click it - the menu drops down (YEAH but pops back up) and clicks to
the main childcare program page -
but I want people to choose from the under menu The green drop down
that is part of the accordion.
I like the click not the mouse over - but is this a situation that i
need the mouse over instead…

Can you make (and publish) a simple page with just one instance of the
menu on it, and let me see what you mean? The way the mouseover is
supposed to work is if you mouse over another header in the same
group, the current header rolls up, but if you mouse off of the
current header without mousing over another header, it stays down.

I played around - changed it (childcare programs) from h2 to h3 (the
others are h2 - and there are no drop down under them) this helped a
great deal.
undid the “link” to the page
also, I linked each word w P in the styles
I have 4 sub menu items under childcare programs
but only INFANT is showing up…
I am using the option return after each item
infant
toddler
preschool
school aged

There’s two things you can try. First, try using a Shift-return rather
than Option-return. That will make the links into a single paragraph.
Second, use h2 or 3 for the headers and UL as the show/hide element.
Then select all of the items in your list below each header and click
the List / indent control in the Inspector. This will group all of
these options into a single unordered list which the action can turn
off and on as a unit.
If you don’t want the bullets to appear next to your links, then you
can create a style in the Styles palette to handle those. If your
parent element is named menu1 (as yours appears to be) then make a new
style in the Styles palette like this:
Tag: #menu1 li
Name: [blank]
To make the name field stay blank, you have to put something in the
Tag field, then tab into the Name field, delete what’s there (style1
by default) and then tab back out.
Finally, click on the Extended button and the New button within the
Extended dialog. In the resulting sub-dialog, enter list-style-type in
the Name field and none in the Value field. Okay out of the stack of
dialogs. You do not need to apply this style to the page or to any
element – it will be published “magically” because it has a tag but
no name. And any list items in your menu will have no bullets.
