[Pro] Main css menu containing a sub css menu

FW 5.5

Hi all!

I am trying to implement a simple horizontal menu displaying one or more horizontal submenus. I tried copy/pasting a css menu as a submenu to a list implementing a css top menu. It looks like it is the right direction but looks very messy for now. I believe I saw this demoed somewhere, but I cannot put my hands on it.

Any idea?

That obviously won’t work, as I got into trouble after insert the second submenu:

“Cannot use this action. The action CSS menus cannot be applied to items with multiple lists on the same level”

Any idea where I should look from?

Multiple lists to create submenus is not the right approach. Each indented line added to a list becomes a submenu using the CSS Menu action. In the Palette where you indented the list to begin with is where you add additional indents.

I probably explain badly what I intend to do: I.e. a main menu bar, with each submenu (no matter the depth) implemented as a single horizontal bar NOT a list. So CSS submenus won’t obviously do it. Speaking about indentation does not make sense in horizontally listed bars. I could not find any proper documentation or answer in the FAQ neither from the web.

See the example of the kind of menu I’d like to implement in http://www.lepoint.fr/

Tx for you time,

Ok, I understand better. CSS Menu action won’t do this for you. It is possible to roll your own CSS manually via the Styles Editor to accomplish this.

Here is a good reference for what you are trying to do, although not related to Freeway. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hybrid
