Drop Down with CSS

Permalink
Hi!

I'm new here, actually this is my first post so please forgive any mistake i do. Thanks!

I think my problem is simple, i have a Concrete 5 website (it's awesome this CMS!) with a head menu (nav-header) but i would like it to dropdown showing the sub-pages (if they have) when you pass the mouse through. I have searched a lot, and tried out a lot of CSS but nothing works...can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers!

I had checked out that tutorial and didnt worked but i tried again carefully and got it! thanks...only one thing, can't i use my CSS style? i mean just the drop down effect, because now i have a blue menu like the one in the tutorial. I'm looking at it already but any help its very appreciated.

EDIT: I don't understand where is the reference to the CSS in the php file... :S

Thanks a lot!
Cheers!

If you copied over Remo's css the blue is coming from there. You will want to change the hex number in the CSS for it.

/* style the second level background */
.menu ul ul a.drop, .menu ul ul a.drop:visited {background:#d4d8bd url(http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/breadcrumbs/grey-arrow.gif) no-repeat 130px center;}
/* style the second level hover */


Everywhere you see "background:#09c" change the 09c to a new hex number for the color you want. Some are for hovers as well.

have ya checked this out in IE8? I can't get to the dropdown before it disappears in IE8, so I'm gonna guess it's not foolproof.
