I have created a menu list with .gif format graphics to be displayed on my website. What I want now is for there to be a drop down menu appear when you mouse over one of the images.

(eg)

MENU
Product ---> product 1
----------------product 2
----------------product 3

So when you mouseover the product image, it expands to product 1, 2 or 3. What program can be used to make this and do you know of any guides to do this?

thank you

Here is a tutorial for horizontal drop "down" menus using HTML and CSS. This is probably the nicest way. You could use Javascript, but if CSS can do it then there is no need.

thanks i'll look into that, I also found another way to do it by using layers in dreamweaver

DaveR,
Thanks for posting this - I was looking to do the same thing, now I'll go read the article and hope I can get it to work!

DaveR,

That is the Mutts Nuts!

I have been needing an accessible drop-down menu having just binned an inaccessible dhtml one on a complex site. This fits the bill superbly. Thanks for posting this.
