Adding a Drop Down Menu in Dreamweaver


I needed to add a Drop Down Menu to a set of web pages. This pull down would link to other related pages pertaining to faculty per semester. I wanted to add it to an existing line of text so that it would not eat up any more real estate.

I originally tried a default Spry within Dreamweaver. However, I was not happy with the results. I then found a web site that offered a solution. http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/linking_famsupp_114.html.

This offered a better solution. A form is created for placement. Once it was placed I was able to add the single menu line to the left of the drop down. It very important not to accedentally destroy the FORM coding. Below is the code that I used.
Note: Using this Blogger will not allow the use of HTML coding. It ignores it. So I have placed and image at the top of this post that is clickable to see an inlarged image.
