Drop down text menus...how??!?!?

Hmm.so basically the text that goes down is most likely a table that just expands when the text is clicked on....I will check out the source,see if i can figure it out.

Yeah, you can kind of get idea from the Application Skins section:
[code]<tr onMouseOver="this.style.background='#96A096'" onMouseOut="this.style.background='#839087'" onClick="expandDiv('skin')" style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand">
<td><img src="http://images.deviantart.com/shared/t-open.gif" id="skin_table" border="0" width="12" height="11" align="absmiddle"> Application Skins</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="small" style="display:none" id="skin_menu">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="small" align="left"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/thumbnails.php?section=3dme">3D Mail Effect...</a></td>
<td class="small" align="right">28</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="small" align="left"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/thumbnails.php?section=3dftp">3D-FTP</a></td>
<td class="small" align="right">7</td>[/code]

See that display:none in the div? It's hidden until onClick="expandDiv('skin')" is called using that function in the .js file.
Then it shows that layer.

This is the function:

[code]
function expandDiv(tahw) {
table_contract = new Image(1,1);
table_contract.src = "http://images.deviantart.com/shared/t-open.gif";
table_expand = new Image(1,1);
table_expand.src = "http://images.deviantart.com/shared/t-close.gif";
what = tahw + "_menu"
where = tahw + "_table"
gotox = tahw + "_link"
if (document.getElementById(what).style.display == "none") {
document.getElementById(what).style.display = "";
where.src = table_expand.src;
gotox.href = "http://urine.deviantart.com/set.php?t=" + tahw + "&value=1"
} else {
document.getElementById(what).style.display = "none";
where.src = table_contract.src;
gotox.href = "http://urine.deviantart.com/set.php?t=" + tahw + "&value=0"
}
}[/code]
That's not everything, but should get you started.

Just keep looking at their source, and you can see how everything works in conjuction with each other.

Are you talking about something like this:

If you have dreamweaver, that's all automated. There's a javascript action thingy in whic you type your links and names.
