Hello all. I am running dreamweaver cs3 and am in search for extensions. I am trying to give my site a huge makeover and one of the things I have always disliked about sites I have made is the navigation. I went to the Adobe site tonight and tried downloading about 8 extensions to help with menus. Well the extensions I downloaded are great but I had to go with the free ones and it seams that all of those require the standard "This menu is made by **company name***link***". Well that does not look professional to me. I am sure it works out for some people but I am picky. I do not have the money at the moment to buy these extensions so I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that has truly free extensions? Thank you in advance for your replies.

Yes I would like some type of drop down menu from the top of the page or a sliding menu on the side of the page. My menus have always bothered me on my sites. Adam Burgi www.journeyoftheanimals.com
Hi Adam, Thankyou for the clarification. Having looked at your site, it seems that you are using a Flash based navigation. SWF menu extensions with drop-menu capabilities available for Dreamweaver are few and far between. My recommendation is to convert your navigation buttons in .gif format and use Javascript. It would be so much easier to insert drop-menus to them. They will also load faster. An example of a sliding menu that uses Javascript can be seen our site under the 'resources' link. Just click 'resources'. Alternatively, you can use a CSS based menu structure. Visit css-play.co.uk for some great examples of CSS based menus. I have sent you a PM, please check it.
