<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab">Vmax4.com Pages</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<li><a style="text-indent: 0px; color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink1.php">SubLink 1</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink2.php">SubLink 2</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink3.php">SubLink 3</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink2.php">SubLink 2</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink3.php">SubLink 3</a></li>
</ul> 


Thank you very much for this, Eric Anderson. It works perfectly on 4.0.6.

I must agree with NashChristian. I am unable to insert the arrow image in a satisfactory manner. Also, the margin on the right of the text seems to be more than on the left.

Lynne (or anyone else), do you think you could please help us out with this one?

can i use Begin instead of middle or end?

you cannot use Begin.

Use the following code and it will display BEFORE forum, immediately after Home tab

global $template_hook;
$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('dropdown_newtab');
$template_hook['navtab_start'] .= $newTemplate->render();

UKBL created a quality dropdown menu system for 3.8 > https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203521

I changed the code so sub-foums would appear by utilizing the same code for drop down, OK it was a lot of messing about and a lot of code, seriously wrecked my head at times but the end product was great!

I have never tried it on VB4 but I do have a few days off next week and may do this as a mini project on my test forum!

I would need a link to the skin your using in your OP.

Wow cheers Robbie, that would be great, I've got it on the default skin on my VB4 forum, the image above is something somebody else posted on page 1 I just used it to demonstrate the effect I was after.

I was looking at this

As a possible way to get the submenu effect.

Edit:

I thought it might be better to post in the programming discussion forum to stop this article going off topic, so I've posted here. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2187926

1000 Thanks for the infos! How can I make the pull-down appear without click, simply when hovering?

Thanks!
