Can I create fly-out menus in Dreamweaver 8?

June 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I have seen most of your training for Dreamweaver from Total Training but cannot find any tutorials on creating “fly-out menus.” Can you please tell me if these can be created in Dreamweaver 8 and if you have any tutorials on the subject.

Thank you,
Ron

Hi Ron,

Dreamweaver 8 does not include any support for fly-out menus, but Dreamweaver CS3 does. Sorry to suggest you should upgrade, but you’ll find a fabulous new feature called the Spry menu in CS3 that makes it easy to create horizontal or vertical fly-out menus. (These are also called drop-down menus.)

If you want an idea of how this works, you’ll find a free tutorial on how to create drop-down menus using the Spry features in CS3 in my Dreamweaver section. Reading through that tutorial and viewing the screenshots that go with it should give you an idea of how to do this in CS3 and why it might be worth upgrading if you want to add this feature to your site.

I hope that helps and I wish you all the best,
Janine

Thank you, Janine. I think I might have this problem solved now. Taking your advice, I re-checked how I had designed the page and found quite a few overlapping elements, including a couple of duplications for the next/previous tags. I rebuilt the page from scratch and Hey Presto, things are looking good now.

I do thank you for your taking the time to assist me; it is appreciated.

Ron
