Hello

I want to create a menu like this: The mainmenu is vertical and the submenus to the mainmenus should be show under the last mainmenu. The Submenus should be show on mouseover over the mainmenu and on click it stay under the last mainmenu, also vertical. It's is possible something like that with a Menu form milonic?

thanks for your help and best regards

There are ways you can do that. You can open submenus as pop ups and position them to an image. So if you placed an image below the main menu, and used popup to open the submenus they would open below the main. To get them to be 'fixed' until you use them you would set them to openonclick=1;keepalive=1;closeonclick=1; and, because you opened them as keepalive, you would need the following function at the top of your menu data file
Code:
function mm_closeClickedMenu()
{
  menuDisplay(_mi[_itemRef][0], 0);
}
and you'd need an item coded with a little x image, or with the words close menu. The onbgcolor would be set to be the same as the offbgcolor so it didn't change when you moused to that item to close the menu if you were using an image. It doens't have to be, but it looks better.
Code:
aI("image=close.gif;imagealign=right;closeonclick=1;separatorsize=0;onbgcolor=#73767E;clickfunction=mm_closeClickedMenu()");


If you actually have a page we can see we would be able to give you a more specific answer based on your layout.
