I've added items to my primary menus in Garland and set it to expand. However when I mouse over that item nothing happens. Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong?
Carl, I hope, I don't get you wrong, but normally the option 'expand' has nothing to do with mouseover. if you have a menu like this News - News about me - News about others - Different News and you set the first item 'News' to expanded, your menu should show all four items. If you do not set it to expanded, your menu should show 'news', nothing more. The sub items should appear, if you then klick on 'News' and the news page is opened. It's like the 'create content' menu item in the admin section. That menu item normally is not expanded This option is not to initiate some kind of pre-build popup menu.

There was discussion similar to this on the support mail list [1] not too long ago. In there, Laura Scott describes [2] how to use expanded Primary links w/Secondary links. Some things to note, however, are the fact that you must click on the link, as Nils mentioned, not mouse over it, and it only works for a two level menu structure. You might look at the Nice Menu module [3] to see if it will help you, but I don't know of any module that does mouse over menus. That will most likely take some custom JavaScript to make happen.

Nice menu was what I used in 4.7. I was under the impression that nice menu wasn't needed (or available) in 5.0. I'll take a look at the links you sent and see if they solve my problems. Thanks.

There is a 5.x version, but it is still under development, so I don't know how useable it is. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadaeh.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 14; Cramer, 12; Travis, 10; Angela; Harry, 7; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.xubuntu.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/

I did a theme for 4.7 (which I now also run on 5.1) with CSS drop down menus, this is better for accessibility that using JavaScript menus. The theme is the 'NoKoala' theme, which you can see on my website http://rosskendall.com It would be easy enough to incorporate the the drop-down into another theme, as it just uses the standard Drupal menu system and just uses CSS to style it.
I wrote up my notes on creating a drop down menu using css and no javascript here: http://www.starbowconsulting.com/blog/tao/css-drop-down-primary-links cheers, -tao Ross Kendall wrote:
