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:

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!

By the looks of it, you are going to want to choose "No", as you are going to want to just be able to grab the code, and move that in the template file for PHP-Nuke. Also, be sure all your top-level links go to informative page where the rest of the pages can be found, because non-JavaScript enabled users are not going to get the dropdown menus...
