Hi there folks,
I'm building a website using the popular Php-Nuke portal system ( http://www.php-nuke.org ), however by default there is no option to allow drop down menus on the top of the page for navigation.
See a sample page of my current build of the site here:
http://onthewritetrack.com/community/index.php
(Note the static menu items up at the top.)
A client of mine wants me to build this website for him and he's absolutely insisting on using javascript drop down menus of some sort, however I'm completely (or about 99.9% if you want to be more technical) illiterate on how to implement type of navigation.
At the moment I'm using a newbie's tool, DHTML studio ( http://www.xtreeme.com/dhtml/index.php ), which allows one to build drop down menus, however after inputting all of the necessary categories, urls, and so forth:
http://webpages.charter.net/discover10000/dhtml_studio_photos/pic1.jpg.gif
After plugging in the preceding data, up comes a wizard that has several questions that I don't know how to answer. The first question in the wizard can be seen in the screenshot above, and depending on which selection you choose, there are a few more questions you need to answer as you go along.
Which option should I choose to make the menu compatible with Php Nuke?
Assistant - Integration with existing web site
Do you want to insert the menu into an existing frame-driven or template-based web site?
Yes -- choose this option e.g. if you want to insert the menu into a DreamWeaver template or if you want to insert the menu...... (extended text can be found in the picture above)
No -- choose this option in all other cases (e.g. if you want to quickly generate a simple menu....... ( once again the extended text can be found in the picture above)
So which one option should I choose? Yes? No?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide ahead of time!
Best Regards,
Paul
Edit: Code Syntax
P.S. If I was too wordy, please forgive me. I've tried several other forums and nobody seems to be able to answer this question. I still have faith that there is someone out there that knows the answers!
