I'm currently in the process of trying to create my own website store. I'm still a beginner but I catch on quickly. Okay so I know how to do the mouse over drop down box where you just click on the text and it creates a drop down box below the text. However what I want to do is on a vertical menu be able to do the same thing with the exception it would open a box to the right side of the clicked text. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thank you all for your assistance. <br />
<br />
Also what are some good quality programs for developing a website. Thanks.<!--content-->If you're speaking of drop-downs created via the <select> tag, then there is no way to have the options pop out to the side.<br />

On good quality programs for web design, here is my list of faves:<br />
<br />
1. HTML Kit - text-only HTML editor with multiple internal preview modes (Internet Explorer and Gecko modes). Syntax highlighting, support for keyboard macroes, built-in FTP (totaly awsome!). Oh, and this is freeware too.<br />
<br />
2. Photoshop for graphics. Hands-down I love it. Macromedia's Fireworks is pretty good too. You may also want to check out Jasc's Paint Shop Pro. On the freeware side, try The Gimp (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gimp.org/">http://www.gimp.org/</a><!-- m -->). It's got most of the functionality of photoshop but not as user-friendly.<br />
<br />
3. Macromedia's Dreamweaver for visual HTML editing. It's also pretty good in the code view too. And surprisingly, Mozilla Composer is pretty good for this too.<br />
<br />
4. Smart FTP - freeware FTP program that supports multiple FTP connections at once and Windows explorer-style drag and drop uploads and Download <!--more-->s.<br />
<br />
5. Goldwave sound editor (shareware, but fully-functional: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.goldwave.com/">http://www.goldwave.com/</a><!-- m -->). You might not use it much for web dev, but it comes in handy for creating your own digital music library. And if you're anything like me, you'll need music constantly when building sites

<br />
6. Irfanview - <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.irfanview.com">www.irfanview.com</a><!-- w --> - A great bare-bones graphics viewer and converter.<br />
<br />
7. Arachnophilia - text-only HTML editor with syntax highlighting for about a dozen web dev-related languages. The best part is that it runs on the Java Runtime Environment. Any computer, PC or MacOS X, that has JRE 1.4.1 or newer can use this editor without any installation needed.<!--content-->I believe he wants a DHTML Menu.<!--content-->I've created three types of DHTML menus already.
