Hi

Slightly off topic possibly, but hoping someone can help.

I’m using the Graphene theme for a WordPress site, which also has some associated PHP pages that sit outside WP but are called from it.

I’ve recreated the Graphene look for these pages using CSS, but I can’t seem to recreate the drop down menu system.

Can someone tell me how I can recreate the Graphene drop-down menu system in a standard PHP page?

I’m not talking about the colour formatting, I’ll do that with CSS, I mean the way the menu actually drops down?

Thanks

Hank

That IS done with CSS.

First you use CSS to initially hide the sub-menu.

Then CSS is also used to show the sub-menu when the parent menu is hovered.

Formatting the menu is actually the major headache I faced when I created my very first theme.

Graphene uses the “Son of Suckerfish” method for handling the dropdown.

You can study how its done by reviewing graphene’s style.css

Really!?

I would never have guessed – I was expecting to have to use Java or JQuery or something.

Great, thanks for the steer – I’ll have a look at Son of Suckerfish 🙂

If you wanted to. Some themes use JS to show some fancy dropdown effects.

Java? Didn’t you mean JavaScript? 😛

Nah, it’s pure CSS.
