floating switch menu

hello, i have a problem with this floating menu, I would like the first drop down menu not to be a drop down menu at all, i would like it to be the home link, but i still would like it to be part of the floating menu, the code is right off the dynamic dhtml website, this is the code for the switch menu :
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... hmenu2.htm

and the code for the floating menu is found here:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... icmenu.htm

what i did was just insert the switch menu code into the floating menu code, any help would be appreciated , thanks

more on the problem

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sddm.css" />

Hi Brunch,

I'm sorry, we can't help here with that. This is a forum for the Milonic Menu and we have no idea what any problem with the two menus you posted would be.

If you are interested, the Milonic menu will do exactly what you want and I'd be glad to help you set it up. The Milonic menu is also cross browser so it isn't limited to IE as the other is.

For information on licenses to see if you qualify for a free one, check here:
http://www.milonic.com/licensing.php


And the collapsible menu example is here: http://www.milonic.com/treemenu/

The one you want is the top one, the collapse menu. When you have a license that top Milonic item will not show, and as you can see the Home item is only a link, other items below it open 'submenus' and that menu can be made to float. Post back if you need any help.

Ruth
