CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!
gmerdan:
I've tried to search the 200 pages of this thread with no luck.
Instead if displaying "Home, Categories, Information, Contact us, etc" in the horizontal bar. Is it possible to replace these with main categories and the drop down shows sub-categories? Dynamically loading the categories and sub-categories, not adding in manually.
It would look like:
Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3
|>subcat
|>subcatHopefully, a someone can help answer this, and Ive tried include keywords to help others who are trying to search the same thing.
