How do I use Dreamweaver to get this done? I want to create drop down menu's for my website Apple Rumors. Thanks in advance.

not quite following you... do you mean form drop down, jump to drop down or ?

Do you have a URL of an example?

If you have fireworks 4 you can do it easily - i'm assuming that you want a pop-up menu. Basically, you will be hiding and showing layers and using javascript events.

If you want a "Jump menu" you just need to attach some JavaScript code to a option form object. I suggest a "go" button next to it to trigger the javascript as it is less annoying.

I don't know specifically how in DreamWeaver, but you basically do it like this (maybe it's a little off, my HTML is rusty):

<font face = "courier">
&lt;FORM METHOD=POST NAME=form_name&gt;
&lt;OPTION SELECTED&gt;Select whatever
&lt;OPTION VALUE="the_link"&gt;Name of menu item
&lt;OPTION VALUE="the_link"&gt;Name of menu item 2
&lt;/SELECT&gt;&lt;/FORM&gt;</font>

At least that's how I remember it. If you want an example of the autoloading JavaScript or seeing menus customized with CSS, you can go here and do view source on the left frame (gray background).

Looks like you forgot you &lt;SELECT&gt;. It should be:

<font face = "courier">
&lt;FORM METHOD=POST NAME=form_name&gt;
&lt;SELECT NAME="your_var_name"&gt;
&lt;OPTION SELECTED&gt;Select whatever
&lt;OPTION VALUE="the_link"&gt;Name of menu item
&lt;OPTION VALUE="the_link"&gt;Name of menu item 2
&lt;/SELECT&gt;
&lt;/FORM&gt;
</font>

Aye. I knew I probably forgot something.

Well, this isn't my forum, so I don't have to be right all the time.

I suggest you use the pop-up menu options in fireworks. You have tons of options you can choose from. it's very easy to create and he integration with dreamweaver is perfect.
