Help with creating Drop Down Menu!?

I read up on many resources but i still don't understand. What's the difference between Javascript drop down menu and a CSS drop down? Anyone can provide me with the actual codes? Or a really easy to understand websit that explain how to do a drop down. Thanks! (*am really new to this*)

Answer 1

The main difference is that JavaScript is much more "heavy" than lightweight CSS, and that JavaScript might not work on certain browsers / certain configurations. For example, I use NoScript as a Firefox add-on, therefore I do not see JS drop-down menus.
One benefit of JavaScript drop-down menu is that you can do almost everything you want with it (although you will need a lot of JavaScript programming knowledge in order to do it), while in CSS you might be a bit limited to what the standard offers.
Here's a tutorial with codes and everything for a CSS drop-down menu:

And if you still want JavaScript drop-down menu you can check here:

I hope I managed to help you :)

Answer 2

The reason you'd getting bad answers is because most programmers consider a drop-down menu an HTML SELECT box.

The difference between JavaScript and CSS menus is approach.

If you are new to HTML, the chances you will understand either to a level where you can achieve what you want is about zero. Try looking for a menu generation program that looks pretty to you and just use that until your skills catch up to your desires.

The benefit of a Javascript dropdown is that you would be able to have it redirect immediately with the selection, where this would just be part of a form that would require clicking a button to send the info.
