Could you please help or direct me in the right direction on how to add a
sub-menu within a navigation bar that is already created on my homepage
(Index). Thank you
 
MD Websunlimited:

Maybe I should re-clarify myself in what I am trying to ask. You know on
some websites you can place your mouse on a navigation bar, and then another
menu of what is in that navigation bar will show up pertaining to that
particular navigation bar. Like a navigation bar with a behavior? Are you
understanding what I am trying to say?
 
That is done w/ DHTML ( and not FP nav bars)

Thank you for the information, and what you stated is what I want to do. I
guess I should have clarified myself more on what I was trying to create. I
haven't used any of the FP navigation link bars or any of the tools they
offer. I have basically just created my own design by using tables, etc. I
have been beating my head against the wall on this one, and finally found
someone who could answer. You get a A++ for your help. Since my navigation
bar is just a basic link to another page, will I have to change the format of
my link bars just to use Javascript behaviors? Check out my website which is
www.nooksack-tribe.org. I want to add the DHTML/javascript behavior to my
first link "Council". Will it be hard to do this? Now with in my
"Department's link...look at the departments close to the header. Will I
have to change the format of the way these department links are setup. There
are a few departments in to which I want to add DHTML/javascript behavior?
Or can I leave them as is?
I just need a little more clarification, and then I will experiment. Again,
thanks for your help!
 
The article at http://www.interlacken.com/winnt/tips/tipshow.aspx?tip=28 explain how to do the 1st one (Tribal Council)
The Department page can't use DHTML because it appears to be using a FP nav bar at the top

On your home page, your existing links can be used to add DHTML
behaviours using any of the three methods I gave.
On the Departments page, again the link bar you have can be used as
is, but you may want to try to cut it down a bit, if possible, by
grouping some of the existing departments together as flyout menus.

Note that the first method (at www.interlacken.com) is labour
intensive, and the second method does not support second level menus.
You can see examples of the third method at
www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/webfaqs.asp
