Hi. I've been playing with drop down menus. They are working fine,
but I would like to use an image map to activate the drop down menu
with apossibility to merging the 2 together.
I want to replace the Fruit Vegitabl menu with the image map Mozart
Brahms above

The best thing to do is break up your image into pieces. Then basically
instead of text for the link you'll use an image.
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#">Fruit</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Apples</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Pears</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Bananas</a></li>
<li><a href="1.php">Grapes</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Vegitables</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Potatoes</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Carrot</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Swede</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Parsnip</a></li>
<li><a href="2.php">Onion</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>so in that code you have the li fuit.. but you would not use the text
Fruit but <img src="Mozart.gif">.<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#"><img src="Mozart.gif"/></a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Apples</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Pears</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Bananas</a></li>
<li><a href="1.php">Grapes</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="Brahms.gif"/>.</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Potatoes</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Carrot</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Swede</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Parsnip</a></li>
<li><a href="2.php">Onion</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>If you want to add some dynamic feedback you would then use css to
change the image on things such as active, hover, etc...Jon
