A little direction and help please to create menu like http://www.mtv.com

[daveguzman25]

Hello all,

I am pretty good at CSS and have a good imagination, but I cannot even begin to try to figure out how to create a menu like on htpp://www.mtv.com. If you put ur mouse over the main links a nice drop down div down and its formated like a list. That is how I want to do it for my site. I do not want a drop down menu, but it do want a drop down section that stays there on mouse overs, and does not drop the rest of the page down but stays over it, prob something to do with absolution postion…. If anyone has any direction or words of advice I’d appreciate it. Thanks all!!

I think that this link may be what you are looking for, it deals with using a div inside a ul instead of a li.

Anyway – read about scopes of jQuery. MTV uses this tool – as well as other interesting websites.

That an excellent tutorial ozee has suggested, that should get your feet off the ground. You’ll just have to make the correct adjustments to fit your requirement.

I use it in a test site that I am making as a part of an affilate right now actually. Something I thought I was going to use the navigation menu more for and then decided not to and was too lazy to recode the it. if you want to take a look, (note, not close to finished) the link is http://ebookdsgn.com/testing/version2

download the complete page from firefox or chrome and then strip everything out but the menu. and dig in. this isn’t new menu, check out sports.espn.go.com same thing.
