Author Pop-Up Menus with Templates......

Can anyone tell me how to use the "Show Pop-Up Menu" Behavior with Templates?
I know how to use them with regular html pages, but when I apply them to my
templates, the pop-up menu does not translate on the attached pages from the
template. I have read articles that say that you cannot do it from Templates,
but I trust the user of this forum far more than I trust some idiots out there
on the web. Please advise. Thanks!

The idiots are right. Dreamweaver cannot manage the links in the
built-in show popup menu behavior because there are no links. It's all
written dynamically with JavaScript. That really make those menus a bad
choice and the template issue is one of the most minor of the problems
with them.

You'll find tutorials, and free or commercial products that do what you
want.

What do you suggest to get the same effect then and still be able to use
templates? I have heard that it can be done using CSS, but that only advanced
CSS users can do. I know little about CSS anyway. Any ideas?
