Layout help

[Craig]

Right sorry if I sound like I'm being a n00b but here it is. You know on some layouts on websites on the nav you have like say for example 'Entertainment' then you click on it and a drop down menu of say 'Games' 'Music' comes on. Right well I have a layout already coded in expandable tables and was wondering how//if I could add these 'dropdowns' seeing as I don't have any yet on my template. Sorry its confusing. +Rep for help:)

I made one and posted it ages ago for someone, let me find it.
Edit:
Can't find it. Anyway, it's JavaScript and you just need to add an onClick atribute.

Something like:

<a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('blah').style.display='blo ck'">Link</a>
<div id="blah" style="display:none">
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</div>

Looks like one.

That's taking it a bit too far, it only needs a simple script.
