ASP Menus
« on: March 26, 2005, 08:25:50 am »
I need some help making an ASP menu. I'm building a website for someone who is opening a computer repair/parts shop. He wants this:

"Store(this is the drop down menu I want.)
    Products
            MotherBoards
            Cpus
            Memory
            Hard Drives
            Cases
            Sound Cards
            Video Cards
            Speakers
            Mice
            Keyboards
            Misc
            Networking
            CD/DVD
            if you make new pages to like (link?) to them make sure all the pages ext. are .asp"

I need help setting that up. I think all he was is a list of the available products. Not an online shop (checkout).

There are ooddles and ooddles of way to solves this problem.

Does this absolutely have to be done with an asp script?

Why? Is he coding it? Is it that his ISP doesn't support .Net?  If the latter is the case I suggest using DHTML or XHTML. ASP is juts a royal pain to script.

Ok he said that I can do it any way I want. What is the easiest way to make a menu like that.

Heres a sample:

http://www.compusa.com


When you mouseover gaming, a menu comes down. He wants something like that.

I use this program

http://www.opencube.com/prod_navstudio.html

It what drives the menu system at microsoft. Check it out. I agree with toasty, most DHTML and javascript menus are only 4-5k and fast loading. VB crap and .asp  is a pain in the ass.

Punisher's post kick started my brain. You might want to try a pure a CSS menu implementation: http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-friendly-resources/css/css-navigation-menu.shtml
