horizantal menu

[robin9000]

I am trying to find a menu that is in pure CSS, don't know if it's possible but I belive it is. I found somthing on another site but I just don't know quite how to get the coding from the site.
I like Dynamic drive because they have all the scripts and everything, all you do is download and follow instructions. That's perfect and just what I am looking for problem is I can not find the exact type menu I am looking for.
I need a menu where not only the first part is horizontal but I need there to be a secound and third menu where they too are horizontal. Maybe there is a way to use the one on here to make the menu go horiztal instead of vertical but I don't know how to do this.

Please Help.
Thank you all so much!

What do you mean by:


Maybe there is a way to use the one on here

?

What menu is that? Please provide a link to the demo page. If this is different than:


somthing on another site

Please provide a link to that too.

the link to the demo is http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/dd_valid_2.html
This is what I want to do except for one more menu deep.
I would just get the coding from the site but not sure how to exstact it. I have already tried and failled to do so.

I need a menu where not only the first part is horizontal but I need there to be a secound and third menu where they too are horizontal.
If I understand you correctly, you need a menu with two sub-levels and the one that you linked to has that.

I'm not sure how they want you to get the code there, but you can just take a look at the source code, this is the css code that you should place in the head section of your page:

<style type="text/css">

.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul li a:hover,
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a:hover ul li a:hover {background:#bd8d5e; color:#fff;}

</style>

and this is the html code that you should place in the body section of your page where you want the menu to appear:

Good luck!

Ya Snookerman that's exactly what I was tring to get. Thanks so much. Now all I have to do is make a couple images up, and I am done. By the way your right, I don't know where they want you to get the code from. I het the site for that part. It's why I love dynamic drive so much, they have everything, just did not have this one type of menu unfontinitly.

Thanks for all your help, Robin

[Snookerman]

You're welcome, glad to help!
You can go to your first post in this thread, click http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/images/buttons/edit.gif then click Go Advanced and add the Resolved prefix to the thread title.
This will let other users know the problem has been solved.

Good luck with your site!

I thought that what you gave me would work and for the most part it dose but there must be somthing missing because the menu dose not seem to work right with what I have for code from what you have shown me.
I have made a tempurary link on my site with the test menu.
http://www.robinsden.890m.com/test_menu.html
check the sorce code to see for your self.
I have made it as plain as posible for to show you.

When you hover over top it only shows the words for the secound menu at that point.

[Snookerman]

It works fine for me in Fx3 and IE7, what browser are you using?

[robin9000]

That's strange I just checked it out and it seems to be working fine for me now. I have no idea what was going on.
Thanks.

[Snookerman]

It was probably your cache or the code might not have finished loading the first time, things like that happen so it's always good to refresh a couple of times to see if that fixes it.

Good luck with your site!
