CSS - Complicated, Drop-down Css Driven Menu
I have css driven dropdown menus but they disappear when I try to scroll down. Also when they appear they are below the main content in my content box. I'm getting most of this information out of books and online forums. Anybody know anything about this?
My Developement Site CSS code I know it isn't pretty yet, but I'm just working on basic layout for now. Similar TutorialsWell I honestly have no idea which forum to stick this in so I'll start here? As the title says I'm trying to make a simple css tab menu, except I'm making it very difficult lol. The problem that I'm having is not only must the tabs be able to expand and contract depending on the content/word inserted, and also if a new category is created it must create another tab. There will always be one tab present labeled home/index/etc., centered in the design. Like this As a new category/page is created/included via php a new tab shows and they stay centerd. Like this This goes on to make a total of six tabs. As of right now I was planning on using these mac style tabs for the tab images but that seems to be whats making this the most diffucult.Especially since I wanted to use a diffrent tab image for the tabs when they are selected. This would be pretty straightforward in a table layout but I'm really trying for a completely css page. I would greatly appreciate any advice if this even sounds possible the way I described, some other way possibly, or if I'm just shooting for a pipedream. Thanks very much in advance. Hello everyone, I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well. The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned. I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned. I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use. Thank you! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html The menu currently drops like this (aligned along the left edge): http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drop-down-menu.gif I want the menu to do this (align along the right edge; see how "Artists" is aligned under "Music" along the right edge): http://artatm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mtvmenu.JPG Here is my code: Code:
.chromestyle{
width: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;

}

Following sample is from http://www.code-couch.com/jeff/snippets/general/tektips-navigation-example.html is what I am trying to reference to create a template. But how do I how keep the state of Menu on each requested page any help is appreciated. The following menu is saved in a separate jsp file i.e. navs.jsp. I include this navigation jsp file in all of my files. Initially the drop down looks like: Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Now clicking [+] in front of Google.com will look like. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Lets's say now if I click on Google.co.ie it takes me to sample.jsp and on this requested page (sample.jsp) how can I show the following menu hierarchy with Google.co.ie bold/underlined/colorchanged showing what menu content I clicked and am viewing the appropriate content i.e. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Same way clicking Google.com or Yahoo.com or Ask.Jeeves shows you the following hierarchy on the requested page with higlight/bold/colored the link we just selected. i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Any time clicking on the menu takes me to some page but on that page I want to show th hierarchy of the menu all the way to which is recently clicked with different color setting. Here is the source for the above: Code:

Any help is really appreciated thanks. EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears. (My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.) (bits of the code that relate to the menu) PHP Code: .btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } .btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; } .btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } .btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; } .link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. In IE it's almost there, except that the submenus will only appear one level deep. The menu is created with nested lists. The :hover functionality is simulated via JavaScript for IE 6. The IE developer toolbar shows the 3rd level menu is correctly being changed to display: block when its parent is hovered, and the border the dev toolbar draws even puts it in the correct place, it just doesn't actually appear. You can find the page he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/ The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/screen.css http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/ie.css (loaded with a conditional comment) http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/tdps.js http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/ie.js (loaded with a conditonal comment) For a specific example of what I'm talking about, try hovering over the second item, Filters & Parts. This will give you another level with four choices. Each of those also has child elements, but when hovered over, the next level doesn't appear. Try it in something other than IE 6 or 7 to see how it's supposed to look. Thanks very much in advance! I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. Would someone please set me on the right path? Thanks. P.S.: the code is at http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.zip.kgb - you have to delete the 'dot key gee bee' suffix. Alright, I've started to design the other pages on my site. I had to change some things in the code in order for my design to work properly. I didn't have it set up correctly before. So everything works the way I want it to now...except for the drop down menu. I am only a beginner with CSS and do not know much about it. I can't figure out what it is I did that made the navigation stop working. If maybe somebody that is more experienced than myself can take a look at it to see what I did, I would really appreciate it. Oh yea, here is the link to the beggining stages of my "about" page: About Keep in mind, nothing is really for sure yet. I just want to get the coding done, so if you think the page could use some sprucing up, you're not alone. As of now the site works best in Firefox and the drop down menu should appear when "Portfolio" is hovered over. Here is the link to the CSS: CSS Thanks I'm playing around with CSS for the first time and have created a drop down menu that I would like to use for a site I have so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I've placed the menu on its own page at h t t p : / / aztechnogeek . somee . com / cssmenu . html for accurate coding (just view source). - sorry as a new user I guess I can't post hyperlinks. What I would like to know how to do is when the cursor is moved down a menu list why the top hover attribute does not stay active??? Confusing I know but when you see the working menu you'll understand - I hope. Any help would be great, thank you!!! First let me start of with this for doing all this work for my drop down menu and then finding out that IE6 (apparently 50% of people browsing) doesn't support :hover except on anchor tags. Here is my situation. I finally got my drop down menu working. However, there are three issues. when I hover over the 'companies' menu item 1) the menu expands and pushes the 'blog' and 'contact' menu items further down the menu. I will say that I did not define a width on the li tags because this is actually for a wordpress theme and I wanted to allow for more pages that might be added later. I thought that by defining a width I would be more likely to fill up my menu container. 2) the child/nested li tags aren't under the parent li tag. Basically the sub-menu items show up to the bottom and right of the 'companies' menu item. I want them to show up directly underneath the parent menu item. 3) the longer sub-menu items (nested li tags) are not showing up on the same line. It's like there is a width that is causing them to overlap or go down to the next row. Not sure if that makes sense. I am wanting it to appear on one line no matter how long the menu item is. I am sure that not defining a width on the li tags have something to do with some of these problems but I wanted others to take a look at it. Code(validated) and styles below. Tried to keep it simple. there are two img files that I use as well but couldn't figure out how to upload those. Any and all help from the CSS gurus will be greatly appreciated. Code:

Hi this theme had an old dropdown menu that was acting weird in some browsers so I updated it with a plugin and now to need to customize it to look a certain way. There are a few stylesheets at work because of the plugin but I am unable to discern why the "Contact Us" text is off-center in the button. I can see that it seems to be too long, but I don't know why it is favoring the right side of the background, instead of being centered in the background. If someone could help me demystify this I would be MUCH obliged. I will post a link so that it can be inspected... When I am allowed after 4 more posts! Please inspect the elements (too much code to post with all different style sheets at play!). Thank you. EDIT: here is link: http://drewclifton.com/clients/northern-computer/ You can also see that the dropdown under 'Services' looks funky; I'm thinking a 'sliding door' solution would be appropriate yes? Thank you. I had made a site with a pure CSS drop down menu (using hover). The problem is that it works fine in the various browsers... IE6, FF1.x, NS, Opera... But it doesn't work in IE7. Anyone know a work around for using the hover as a drop down with IE7? I can paste the code later (when I get back to where my site is) if needed. Thanks for any input. Hey guys, New to the forum. Mainly came on here to get help with my nav bar. It works perfectly in FF and IE 8.07+, but the problem it with IE8.06, where it doesn't show at all. Not too worried about pre-8.06, only a small amount of my page hits comes from below that version. I've spent ages looking for a problem, but can't find where I've went wrong. There's may be some superfluous stuff in there that I've added to try and fix the problem.. Please help? =) ------------------------ Code: #PageList1 ul {

I have a horizontal menu that drops vertically when you hover over a menu item. In IE7, the menu hides behind images making it invisible if it drops in a spot where an image is at. I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this issue. I should mention it works in Firefox, but I haven't tested any other browsers. i m having problem in displaying menu and sub menu. pls check the code. HTML <html> <head> <title> List of Hospital values </title> <link href="new.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> <ul id="navbar"> <li><a href="##">IPD Maintenance</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Registration</a></li> <li><a href="#">Diagnose</a></li> <li><a href="#">Laboratary Test</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">OPD Maintenance</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Registration</a></li> <li><a href="#">Diagnose</a></li> <li><a href="#">Laboratary Test</a></li> <li><a href="#">Admission</a></li> <li><a href="#">Services </a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Donation Management</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Donor detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Lab Test detail</a></li> <li><a href="#">Donor Medication</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Billing</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">IPD billing</a></li> <li><a href="#">OPD billing</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#">Administrative Task</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Manage user</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="#">Add User</a></li> <li><a href="#">Delete User</a></li> </ul> <li><a href="#">Manage Doctors</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="#">Edit Doctor</a></li> <li><a href="#">Add Doctor</a></li> <li><a href="#">Delete Doctor</a></li> </ul> <li><a href="#">Manage Staff</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="#">Edit Staff</a></li> <li><a href="#">Add Staff</a></li> <li><a href="#">Delete Staff</a></li> </ul> <li><a href="#">Manage Departments</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="##">Add Department</a></li> <li><a href="#">Delete Department</a></li> <li><a href="#">Edit Department</a></li> </ul> <li><a href="#">Manage Rooms</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="#">Add Room</a></li> <li><a href="#">Delete Room</a></li> <li><a href="#">Edit Room</a></li> </ul> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Laboratory</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Laboratory detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Lab Test detail</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Organ Management</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Laboratory detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Lab Test detail</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Blood Management</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Blood Taken</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="">Hospitals</a></li> <li><a href="">Donors</a></li> </ul> <li><a href="">Blood Endorsed</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="">Persons</a></li> <li><a href="">Hospitals</a></li> <li><a href="">IPD</a></li> </ul> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Emergency Services</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Estaff Detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Add Estaff</a></li> <li><a href="">Delete Estaff Detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Edit Estaff Detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Ambulance Detail</a></li> <li><a href="">Ambulance Route</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Inventory</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Suppliers</a></li> <li><a href="">Purchase Receipt</a></li> <li><a href="">Purchase return receipt</a></li> <li><a href="">Sales Receipt</a></li> <li><a href="">Sales Return Receipt</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </body> </html> AND THE CSS FILE IS AS FOLLOWING #navbar { margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 1em; } #navbar li { list-style: none; float: left; } #navbar li a { display: block; padding: 3px 8px; background-color: #5e8ce9; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } #navbar li ul { display: none; width: 10em; /* Width to help Opera out */ background-color: #69f;} #navbar li:hover ul { display: block; position: absolute; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #navbar li:hover li { float: none; } #navbar li:hover li a { background-color: #69f; border-bottom: 1px solid #fff; color: #000; } #navbar li li a:hover { background-color: #8db3ff; } WAITING FOR YOUR HELP The code is here on an old Proboards test site: http://kayaoti.proboards.com/index.cgi The menu in the black bar is just one I used from a free code. It works fine except when you hover over the items, the drop-down tabs are out of alignment. I'm not code-savvy enough to know how to make them drop straight down or how to move them so they look nicer, but I'm guessing someone here could help me out in that regard. How can I edit the code (shown below) or whatever else to make the drop-down tabs look better aligned with the menu items? Code: <style type="text/css" media="screen"> /**************** menu coding *****************/ #menu { width: 748px; background: #000; float: left; } #menu ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 12em; float: left; } #menu h2 { color: #000; background: #000; text-transform: uppercase; } #menu a, #menu h2 { font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000 #000 #000 #000; margin: 0; padding: 2px 3px; } #menu a { color: #fff; background: #000000; text-decoration: none; } #menu a:hover { color: #fff; background: #000; } #menu li {position: relative;} #menu ul ul { position: absolute; z-index: 500; } #menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; } div#menu ul ul, div#menu ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul {display: none;} div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul {display: block;} </style> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 7]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { behavior: url(csshover.htc); font-size: 100%; } #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} #menu a, #menu h2 { font: bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } </style> <![endif]--> <div id="menu" style="position:relative; left:301px; top:483px;"> <ul><li><a href="http://dominionwolves.proboards.com/"><IMG SRC="http://i44.tinypic.com/24zb1vq.png" border="0"></a></li></ul> <ul><li><IMG SRC="http://i43.tinypic.com/311lyra.png" style="position:relative; left:-40px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/css/#cssmenus">CSS Hover Navigation</a> <ul> <li><a href="../css-dropdown-menus.html" title="tanfa Introduction">Intro for CSS Enthusiasts</a></li> <li><a href="index.html" title="Plain HTML Code">Demonstration HTML</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html" title="whatever:hover file">csshover.htc file</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i39.tinypic.com/2cne1d5.png" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/css/#cssmenus" title="SEO Consultants Directory">CSS Hover Navigation</a> <ul> <li><a href="../css-dropdown-menus.html" title="tanfa Introduction">Intro for CSS Enthusiasts</a></li> <li><a href="index.html" title="Plain HTML Code">Demonstration HTML</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html" title="whatever:hover file">csshover.htc file</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i40.tinypic.com/24ffxu1.png" style="position:relative; left:55px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/vertical/" title="SEO Consultants Vertical Example">SEO Consultants Sample</a></li> <li><a href="vs7.html" title="Complete Example">tanfa Demo example</a> <ul> <li><a href="tutorial-v.html" title="Vertical Menu Tutorial">tanfa Tutorial</a> <ul> <li><a href="vs1.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 1">Stage 1</a></li> <li><a href="vs2.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 2">Stage 2</a></li> <li><a href="vs3.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 3">Stage 3</a></li> <li><a href="vs4.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 4">Stage 4</a></li> <li><a href="vs5.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 5">Stage 5</a></li> <li><a href="vs6.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 6">Stage 6</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i42.tinypic.com/15cerno.png" style="position:relative; left:65px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/horizontal/" title="SEO Consultants Directory Example">SEO Consultants Sample</a></li> <li><a href="hs7.html">tanfa Demo example</a><!-- fully working sample --> <ul> <li><a href="tutorial-h.html" title="Horizontal Menu Tutorial">tanfa Tutorial</a> <ul> <li><a href="hs1.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 1">Stage 1</a></li> <li><a href="hs2.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 2">Stage 2</a></li> <li><a href="hs3.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 3">Stage 3</a></li> <li><a href="hs4.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 4">Stage 4</a></li> <li><a href="hs5.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 5">Stage 5</a></li> <li><a href="hs6.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 6">Stage 6</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div>
Hi all, I am trying to style a drop-down menu. I'd like the hover state to have a transparent cut out on the menu... and the bottom of the drop down to be rounded. Probably makes more sense in the picture... which I am apparently not allowed to post. grrr. So think little triangle, but instead of being a different color, it is a transparent cut out. I've been banging my head into the keyboard for a couple of hours and can't seem to find the right way to tackle this. The problem is compounded by some of the menu items not have submenus. I'd like those to hover as if they were the bottom link in the drop down... ie, a notched edge and rounded bottom border. I would really appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction here. Many thanks, -helga Ok I am creating a CSS/Javascript Horizontal drop down menu and everything looks great except when I go down and highlight items on my submenu the styles go away on the Menu Item Selected, how can I have those attributes maintain when I go on it's sub elements? Thanks alot Seth Code:

I have been tasked with building a CSS drop down menu system. I have worked out I can use a hover event to invoke the drop-downs (and hide them again). However. How would I invoke one and keep it visible if they went down to the sub-menu rather than just disappearing because they left the element the hover is applied to? I have made a menu which I love because it is the layout that I want. However, I am having problems with the menu when I try to add a "Drop Down" feature to it. The menu I currently have and use is: http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html I would like to turn some of the tabs like services into a drop down menu. I found a script that was a drop down menu and I tried to customize it to match my original menu but failed. The script that I found is: http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html Is there anyone that can customize http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html for me using http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html so that I can have drop down capabilities? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks guys. |
