I am trying to create a nav bar on the left hand side of a web page.

I have created it how GoLive CS2 seems to suggest, so each option that will appear in the nav bar has been created as a seperate layer. I have positioned these correctly, then added actions to each of these so things will happen when the user mouse clicks on an option.

It has 5 main links in at the top level and each of these have sub-sections. At the moment when the user clicks one of these options the sub sections appear beneath it and the other options that were previously in the way slide down to allow these sub-sections to appear.

The issue is when these sub-sections need to open out into sub-sub-sections. I have succesfully worked out how to get these to ShowHide on a mouse click but I cannot, for the life of me, work out how to make the options below it to then slide further down to accomodate the appearance of these sub-sub-sections, despite managing to make it happen for the sub-sections.

Perhaps because they have already slid down already and now cannot do it again? Surely not?!

Anyways, I hope that is all clear. If no-one replies I shall assume not and try a a re-post.

I would be grateful of some help.

Thanks!

Here's an easy way to do menus.

Thanks Marguerite,

I did have a look at this site, but the trouble is I have created the menu already and it is working well apart from this problem. It just seems that I am missing a factor somewhere and it seems a little bit drastic to scrap it and use menumachine.

But maybe I will have to if no solution pressents itself.

You may need to post a link to the page so we can see the problem in the code.

If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty in the source code, there are some Spry widgets for menus that may help:
