Menu Construction Question
« on: July 10, 2005, 10:20:02 PM »

I created a section and several categories.  For each category, I developed one test content page.  The problem is when I preview the page, I'm not getting what I want.  My objective is to be able to move my cursor over the section menu name and have the category menu names appear.  What happens is that when I move my cursor over the section menu name nothing happens.  However if I click on the section name, the categories appear below (with a small square with a red X in the middle beside each category name, i.e. no image selected).  To the right of the main menu is a list hyperlinked to all the content pages.  The only thing that works properly is that when I click on a category name I'm taken to the desired content page.  The problem may be with my choice of menu type.  For the categories I used  a Link-content Item menu type and for the Section I used a Table-Content Section menu type.  What is the proper menu type for a section with categories where you want the section to do nothing but house the categories.  Thanks in advance for any help.

It sounds like you are saying you want some kind of "on mouse over" menu options to appear?  If that is correct it is something that would have to be done within the template and probably calling an external javascript application.

I might not be understanding correctly. Do you have a URL to a Mambo site that behaves like you want yours to?

Brad:  The menu structure I'm looking for can be viewed at http://www.funkmusician.com

Please take a look.  I prpbably need to be using a different template than JavaBean to get the desired affect

Yep you sure do.  Do a view source on the page and you will see that javascript is used.
