I'm trying to solve a special menu for a customer. The menu looks like the attached picture. When you hover over a menu item a second level menu drops down. When you hover over the second level menu items, you see a picture on the right with some text and a link to the actual content.

How do i build this in dynamicweb? Any guides, helpful articles or forum posts is greatly appreciated. (by the way, the search function in this forum - where is it?)

Kind regards
Peter

I havent seen that menu as standard in DW. but you can build it yourself.

If you use the LIClean.xslt you are able to get all the items in the menu out as list-items. And all folded out in the particular item you are selecting. If you are using hover on all items, be careful not to make to many links, as it will make Google lock out later links on the site. Alternatively move the navigation to the later html on the page.

Then you can make the rest with javascript. It would of course take a dynamic script, with consideration of more items and so on.
The term on the internet for these menues are "mega menues". theres all kinds of tutorials for those. you would need som experience with javascript or a javascript programmer.


The search function is the upper right search form.
