Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me make my existing CSS horizontal menu drop down so when I hover over the main title it drops to submenus?

CSS:

#tray {position:relative; width:960px; height:45px; background:url("../design/tray.gif") 0 0 no-repeat; overflow:hidden; font:bold 90%/1 "tahoma",sans-serif;}
    #tray ul {margin:0 20px; list-style:none;}
    #tray li {display:inline;}
    #tray li a {display:block; float:left; padding:17px 20px 17px 18px; background:url("../design/tray-separator.gif") 100% 0 no-repeat; text-decoration:none;}
    #tray li a:hover {background:url("../design/tray-hover.gif");}
    #tray li#tray-active a {background:url("../design/tray-active.gif");}

HTML:

<div id="tray">
    <ul>
      <li id="tray-active"><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
	  <li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
    </ul>

Thanks!

Hi - Thank you for you reply and example but it was not what I was looking for.

I basically want to keep my existing menu and CSS configuration but modify it to a drop down menu. Not quite sure on how to do that?
