Drop Down Navigation

[67SBSQSB]

I read a few threads that Publisher 2007 does not support drop down
navigation menus unless you insert a HTML Code Fragment. I want a simple
design drop down capability, similar to the one on Yahoo
(http://finance.yahoo.com/) where if you put your mouse over "Investing", a
list of options drop down and then you select from there.

Any help on the code fragment?

Google is your friend...errr...maybe I should say Yahoo is YOUR friend. If
you look at the source code you will see that it is a javascript code, so
just search for "javascript drop down menus" or DHTML menus and you will
find lots of code to try. Be aware that in many cases the search engine
spiders cannot follow the links in a javascript menu, nor will the they work
if javascript is turned off in a users browser, so plan to add a plain text
menu at the bottom of the page perhaps...

If you are willing to pay for one, I like Xara menumaker.
