menu with submenu
-
Hi there,
I need some help with a menu in my custom theme in wordpress.
I basically have a mainnav and some of the mainnav options will have a subnav. All this is added in the worpress admin area and can change at anytime.
I need to display the mainnav and if the user selects an option that has a subnav I need to show the subnav for that item. This subnav should only show if the parent for the subnav is active.
Is there anyway of doing this in wordpress? I have always used php and folders in the past but this is a dynamic created nav.
Thank you in advance.

I would look at using css Z-index, visibility or display on the a:hover tag for this type of thing.
has some more info.
Hi there, thanks for your help. Z-index just layers items and visibility will just hide the menu.
I need some kind of jquery script to check if the active menu item has a subnav and if yes to show that subnav. The hide the subnav once another menu item is selected.
Any ideas?
I have this so far:-
$(function(){ $('ul.subnav').hide(); $('ul.mainnav a#active').mouseover(function(){ $('ul.subnav').show(); return false; }); });It doesn’t quite work how I want it to tho.
Any ideas?

Not really as I don’t know how you want it to work.
There are lots of JS menu dropdowns/slideouts etc out there at places like codespy and tutorio. See which is nearest your needs and see how they do it.
Basically there is a subnav for some of the mainnav items but not all of them.
When the user selects an option with a subnav I want that subnav to show. If the user selects another option on the mainnav then I need the subnav to not show.
If you look at this site http://www.claireprice.com. Thats how I need my nav to work. If you click on the Advanced treatments option a subnav appears. If you select Job opportunities then the subnav for the advanced treatments gets hidden.
Does this help you understand what I’m after?
Thank you
