[Pro] Navigation Design Question

How can I create navigation the way it is in these two sites:

http://www.homedepot.com/

or like the Electronics or Christmas menus on here: http://www.target.com/

Is it a case of just using the CSS Menu Action? I’d like to be able to make an area come out that may have lots of options that will need multiple columns with possible heads as in the Home Depot and Walmart examples.

Thanks.

Have a look at this Stu Nicholls | CSS PLAY | A professional flyout list menu

I can’t seem to figure out how to actually download it for purchase.

Plus, even if I did, I’m not sure I’d know how to use it!

Is there no Freeway method of achieving this?

Here are 2 pages I was playing with - http://www.deltadesign.co/menu_stuff/menutable.html

and http://www.deltadesign.co/menu_stuff/flylist_multi.html

The first is a rather convoluted method in FW inserting Markup items into a CSS menu.

The second is using Stu Nicholls code.

The problem with both of these is that they are difficult to maintain within FW and because if that not really a viable option for a codeaphobic - or a site with changing/adding links.

I am sure it can be done using CSS styles on a normal FW CSS menu but I am not CSS savvy enough to wrap it up and make it all WYSIWYG in FW.

Thanks, Dave.

I’m going through Dan Jasker’s WebYep screen casts and there’s not much more web learning I can fit in my brain right now!

We seem to have to learn quite a bit for a new site we might be getting. I don’t mind learning, but learning under the gun is a bit maddening!

That second example looks great, though.

The 2nd is Stu’s code copied out of his example and pasted into mine.

I can let you have a copy if you want to dissect it.
