Topic: ASP Menus

[SkyFlyer]

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).

He wants it in ASP VBS.

[SkyFlyer]

so is there an easy way to do it in ASP VBS?

[toasty0]

He wants it in ASP VBS.

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.

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
