I am learning FrontPage, and would like to figure out how to creat a nav bar
that has a mouse over list underneath it. and learn to link it to another
place in the site.I don't know for sure what it is called, a compressed
list?, maybe, thanks

marysecretary,

If you want to write the HTML code yourself, here is code that works for me
(gleaned from much advice on this newsgroup, including that from Jim
Buyens). It is a menu of drop down links to other sites.

The <style ...> and <script ...> are placed in the <head> section. The rest
goes in the <body> section where you want the menu table to appear.

<head>
..........
<style type="text/css">
..menu {position: absolute ; visibility: hidden ;}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
function showmenu(elmnt)
{ document.all(elmnt).style.visibility="visible" }

function hidemenu(elmnt)
{ document.all(elmnt).style.visibility="hidden" }
</script>
.....
</head>

<body>
.......

<div>
<table width="100%" border>
<tr>
<td onmouseover="showmenu('links')" onmouseout="hidemenu('links')">
<b>External Links</b><br>
(Scroll down)<br>

<table id="links" class="menu" width="100%" border>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="http://whatever.com" target="_top">
(any text)</a>
</td>
</tr>

Repeat the row between and including <tr> and </tr> for each menu
item, changing the content as needed

</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

It may look a bit daunting, as my first attempt at writing HTML was, but
this actually works, so it is just a cut and paste and then alter and
duplicate code as required.

LOL

If you are not an HTML wizard like my self then here is what I did. If you
have been using MS software for any amount of time you have probably realized
it's like buying a new car but having to get all the amenities after the
fact. It's how Bill G. makes all his billions.
Click on FP help. When the helkp bar opens at the right of the screen type
in DHTML and then click enter. It's one of the links towards the top of the
list and it will redirect you to an add-on page for this feature that you are
looking for. It will caost you about $70.00 for the pleasure of being able to
create drop down menus. I was so irritated that I decided I didn't need drop
down menus that bad.

However Bill G. doesn't make any money from the add-ins, and you can find free JavaScript DHTML Menu
scripts on the internet.

There are plenty of free dhtml scripts on the net...just use google, unless of course you're afraid Bill G. will get a cut of Google too.

There are other menu creators that cost a few bucks too...you just have to look around...you know shop.

When I bought my car it didn't come with chrome mags...I had to buy those separately...I even had to buy a *real* spare tire instead of that stupid donut thing. I guess that's how Henry F. made all his billions.

Get over it.
