HTML5 Tips: Add Drop-Down Menus to Your Website
There’s nothing like announcing a new feature, especially when we know so many of you were looking forward to :)
After you decide to create a website, it's time to determine how you are going to configure the website layout. And HTML5 dropdown menus are a great way to enhance your website navigation.
Drop down menus are now available on HTML5 websites!
Drop down website menus are a great way save space on your website and neatly organize subcategories. Drop-down menus also improve a website’s usability by reducing the numbers of clicks from the main navigation menu.
Websites that have a large number of pages, or that require organizing content into different themes, can benefit a great deal from using drop down menus to improve the overall user experience. And now to the juicy part:
How to add a drop down menu to your HTML5 website
In the HTML5 editor, click on Pages.
The pages window that now opened shows all the pages that currently exist in your template (Home, About, Contact, etc.). Let’s say you want to add a sub page to the About page.
Click on About in the Pages menu.
Now click on the Add Page link.
You can now choose the layout to your new sub-page and name it.
Check the “Add as sub page” checkbox and click OK.
You will now see that the sub-page has been added to your menu, right below the About page.
And that’s it! If you go to the preview mode you’ll see that the-sub page you added is viewable through the drop-down menu. Your website menu design has now been improved!
