mouse over drop down menus?

Postby Yachtsman » Sun Mar 13, 2011 3:52 pm

Does anyone have an example of using "mouse over" navigation menus with pages links?

I want to have a header row of major categories with drop down menus of sub links.

ShopSite 10 SP1 offers global navigation menus you can set up, that can include drop-down options:

Preferences -> Navigation

also see:

If you're looking to do this with dynamically linked pages instead of static global store navigation, it would require custom templating in the "DEFINE LINK_TO_PAGE" section to have either fly-out menus or dropdown menus using Javascript. You can google for "javascript drop-down menu" or "javascript fly-out menus" for code examples.

I'm currently on version 10 not SP1. I'm moving to a new hosting company that has the latest version. I'll wait until I get there before I do anything more.

Is there anyway to dynamically read the linked pages of a page not currently being display? In other words, show sub-categories to a category page before the category page is loaded.

Thanks
