I know it sounds stupid but I cant figure it out… What is used for those menus that dont use flash but have sub items like the one at [http://www.santarosa.k12.fl.us/](http://www.santarosa.k12.fl.us/) . Is it javascript or DHTML or something… Can I do this in Dreamweaver? Does it take a lot of coing and work or is it fairly simple? Thanks…

They are done via DHTML, and are quite complicated to code by hand (and still have cross browser functionality).

You can however get a ton of free ones out there on the internet… almost any free open source javascript site has one (DHTML is Javascript+CSS).

I would check…

I like this one the best: [http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/)

He almost does it with no JavaScript at all(IE needs a few lines because of its lack of support for :hover), and it degrades peacefully in older browsers 🙂
