| I am new to web dev, Expression Web, and everything. I love it though. I have watched every video I can get my hands on...Thanks Dustin for the best ones. My question is this...go to this website and tell me how they get the nav words to be a rollover and pop up the additional(true nav) words. The website is trinaturk.com. Also, I noticed some of you talking about being able to read the source code on other people's websites...how do you do that? Thanks everyone, you guys are awesome!! Henry

Thanks for the compliments Hankster.
To view the source of a page, if you right click on a page you'll see "View Source" in IE and "View Page Source" in Firefox. This will allow you to see the code for that individual page. This can be a great way to learn how certain things are accomplished, I know its been a great way for me to learn over the years, especially if you take the code into a program like EW with a split screen view, so you can make modifications and see the changes, to really start understanding it.
As for the site you're looking at, that is being controlled with a decent chunk of javascript that is swapping out the subnav images. I don't know if you're looking to learn javascript in your early stages, and I'm only so versed with javascript, but I can try to walk you through what the code is doing if you need it. Take a look at the code and see what you think.
=========================
My wife has given birth to our twins, so I'm still going to be spotty around here. It never seems to correct itself does it? I'm sorry, I'm trying.

| Thanks Dustin. I figured it had to be a little more involved then a simpe drag n click in EW. As for the source code, I will definitely start checking those out. I dont think I am ready to start learning Javascript yet, but I appreciate you wanting to help. Once I get more advanced, I will get back to you. Thanks for the kickstart.

| Hankster There are also 3rd party software programs that intergrate with EW to create JS Menus. The one I use is Sothink DHTML Menu. www.sothink.com . It has a graphical interface to make creating menus easier (for people like me). There is a free trial download so you can try before you buy. Howie
