Menu

I am wanting to design a menu somewhat similar to the one on this site: https://www.theshadestore.com/

I appreciate any help or advice I can get!

I use Dreamweaver CC.

Thanks in advance! Donna

Hi Donna, In Dreamweaver CC, you could insert a jQuery UI and choose Tabs. That will give you a similar look.

Thanks so much Diane!!! Now I just have to figure out how to do that. Where do I start?

Hi Donna, In Dreamweaver, go to "window" in the menu bar, and click on "insert". On the insert tab, click on the dropdown menu, and choose "jQuery UI". You will then have options to choose from - choose "tabs". Hope this helps! Diane

Thanks... I got that far and now I am trying to figure it all out. Sure appreciate your help Diane!

Hi Dianne, can you please help, thanks!!!!

Here are my current issues:

  1. Where do I make the content dropdown layer above the slideshow that I have?
  2. Also is there a way of putting a "secondary" vertical dropdown on under products, so there is a fly out for various types of sheers, etc. That's where I'm hooped right now.
  3. I am still playing with the background color of the header tab line that contains home, products, etc vs the dropdown content... I will test more once I have it layered in front of the slideshow.

Hi Donna, I just looked at the source code of your site. Why are there separate html sections and body sections? Did Dreamweaver do that?

Not sure quite what you mean.... but since the header, nav, rightsidebar and footer are going to be same on all pages, I set them up as a .php includes page, so I can just make changes in one place. Hope that is ok?

Thanks for your help Donna

Is this a Wordpress site? When I click on the menu items, I go to what looks like the twenty fourteen theme.

Strictly Dreamweaver CC - Fluid Grid Layout. I added the includes .... is that a bad thing?

Thanks

My php skills are weak, so I'm not sure if it's bad or not. I've never seen a page laid out like that, but if it works....

Thanks, it seems to work fine. It sounded like you knew about the menu issue and I would love and appreciate the help!!!!
