Can anyone tell me how to do a drop down menu on a website?

I don't mean the list kind of thing, more like what happens when you click about Compaq at

Greg,

they are using layers, which can be complex if you arent up with that kind of thing.
dreamweaver is the best tool for creating and editing layers.

Boomer,

I fancied a quick answer and didn't want to get into corporate 'it's ours and you can't use it speak'!

Cheers Blowdog,

I actually don't want it as complex as that.

What I want is on my site

You can do it using mouseovers and image maps. It's a bit labour intensive but works without needing new software or dhtml.
Try this link. It's a page I copied yonks ago that is now on a pay-to-view site and it explains it quite well:

I'm no web wizard but perhaps try Macromedia Fireworks, it has a really simple way to do multiple drop-down boxes a bit like on the Microsoft site but not as nice (no javascript needed).

But saying that perhaps insert some javascript from one of the free download sites.

You can get Fireworks/Dreamweaver from
