It's amazing that they would use the hiermenus on that site, but here you
go -

[url]http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/hiermenus/[/url]

There are much better ways to do this, however. Check these tutorials -

or

You could try the DHTML menu from [url]http://www.milonic.com/[/url]. They offer a free/low cost version for certain types of sites.

They only charge around $40 for the full version anyway which, in my opinion, is well worth it.

The Milonic menu has the same major drawbacks that any all javascript menu
does -

1. Bulky code, and
2. Invisible links

The second is a much more serious problem - it means that your linked files
are invisible to DW's link management, and worse, to Search Engines....

Thanks Murray. I've tried the tutorials at projectseven.com. But it seems
that it can't support the image swapping. Any alternatives? Please help.

Hi Murray,

I'm going to do the exact menu like the following link.

[url]http://www.adaptec.com[/url]

Each of the menus has image swaping effect. The one putting the mouse over
the product, it turns blue and a menu drops down; putting the mouse over the
support, it turns orange and a menu drops down; putting the mouse over the
company, it turns green and a menu drops down.

Please help.
Helen

Using their method would be a mistake in my opinion. Follow Ken's sage
advice and do it the right way.
