When you're using a word, image, etc to trigger a menu like this, it is no
longer called a "jump menu." A jump menu is a form element. The vocabulary
for this business can be confusing, eh? :) So we call it a popup or dropdown
or slideout or some such things.
There are many tutorials on this, but my favorite is here:
http://www.projectseven.com/tutoria...menus/index.htm
Or, you can simply do this:
1) Make a null link out of your text:
<a href="java script:;">I'm a trigger!</a>
2) Create a "layer" in dreamweaver (positioned div), give it an id and make
the visibility hidden. Position it under you trigger. Put your links in
there:
<div id="ddlayer" style="position:absolute; width:200px; z-index:1; left:
0px; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;">
<p><a href="link1.html>link 1</a></p>
<p><a href="link1.html>link 1</a></p>
</div>
3) Style the links and the p's (or whatever container you choose - li, p,
div, table/td, etc).
4) Select the null link and use MM's Show-Hide layers to first show it
onMouseOver, the another instance to hide it onMouseOut:
<a href="java script:;" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('ddlayer','','show')"
onMouseOut="MM_showHideLayers('ddlayer','','hide')">I'm a trigger!</</a>'
