How do I add a drop down menu to an already live website menu (WB template)?

Thanks Argos for your reply. I did find my own mistake in the end!

Have a look at my site (www.argosmedia.nl), and go the some subpage. You see a main dropdown menu and a childrens menu on the right. Is this what you have in mind? It's jQuery for the sliding effect, but based on a regular Showmenu2.

Main menu:

Code: [Select]

<div id="header">
  <div id="myslidemenu" class="jqueryslidemenu">
    <ul>
      <li> <a class="home" title="Home" href="/pages/home.php"></a> </li>
    </ul>
    <?php show_menu2(0,SM2_ROOT,SM2_START+2,SM2_ALL,'[if(id==1){<li class="hide">}else{[li]}][a][menu_title]</a>','</li>','<ul>','</ul>',false,false) ?>
  </div>
</div>
Sidemenu:

Code: [Select]

<?php 
// Submenu region, only shown when submenu's are available
ob_start();
show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_CURR+2, SM2_ALL|SM2_CURRTREE);
$childmenu=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if ($childmenu!="") {
show_menu2(0,SM2_ROOT, SM2_MAX, SM2_CRUMB|SM2_CURRTREE,'<h3>CHILD PAGES</h3>','','','',false,false); 
show_menu2(0,SM2_ROOT+1,SM2_CURR+1,SM2_TRIM|SM2_CURRTREE,'[li][a][menu_title]</a>','</li>','<ul class="sidebar-menu">','</ul>',false,false); 
} 
?>

CSS:

Code: [Select]

.jqueryslidemenu {float:left;width:100%;background:url('../img/menu_bg.jpg') repeat-x 0 0;height:38px;}

.jqueryslidemenu ul {list-style-type:none;margin:0;padding:0;}

.downarrowclass {position:absolute;top:17px;right:16px;}
.rightarrowclass {position:absolute;top:12px;right:5px;}

li.hide {display:none !important;} /* hide the home link in the menu, because an icon is used instead */
a.home {width:50px;height:38px;background:url("../img/home2.jpg") 50% 50% no-repeat;display:block;padding:0 !important;}
a.home:hover {width:50px;height:38px;background:url("../img/home_hover2.jpg") 50% 50% no-repeat !important;padding:0 !important;}

.sidebar-menu {list-style:none;margin-bottom:30px;}
.sidebar-menu li {border-bottom:1px solid #e7e7e7;}
.sidebar-menu li:hover,
.sidebar-menu li.menu-current {background:#f1f1f1 url('../img/bullets/arrow.png') no-repeat 0 11px;}
.sidebar-menu li a {color:#404040;display:block;height:30px;line-height:30px;padding-left:15px;}
.sidebar-menu li a:hover,
.sidebar-menu li.menu-current a {text-decoration:none;}

In the HEAD of your index.php:

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo WB_URL; ?>/include/jquery/plugins/easing.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo WB_URL; ?>/include/jquery/plugins/jqueryslidemenu.js"></script>

There are 3 hardcoded links to my domain in the jqueryslidemenu.js. Replace them with your own info.
