    Hi there,
    I have a Nav Bar question, and I'm hoping this is some administrative function and not a theme issue. I've done some searching before I asked, but I am having a hard time finding the solution; maybe because I don't know how to say what I'm looking for. Because of this I will try to sum it up the best I can.

    On the front end of my site, the top Nav bar links to pages. when I create a sub-page in the back end it won't drop down from the parent page. It will show up on the sidebar, but I think it would look so much better if it would drop down (like a moo style). Does any know where and what I would need to edit.

    If you would like to look go to http://spencerlimb.com

    Also, if you go to the page, the Media section is the one that has "kids"

    Unfortunately, this is in fact a theme issue. WordPress does a pretty good job of displaying the child pages in a good, nested format, so it's pretty easy to take a dropdown script and use it with your current page structure, but it's not something you can specify from the backend.

    Thanks I appriciate your help. I did a some digging around and found some scripts that you can just throw in, but I also went to the Mootools website and checked it out too. I don't which option I'm going to go with, but it's not as intimidating as it seemed this morning.

    Great. If you can't get it to work, post your code here, and I can help you out with it.

    Also, as a sidenote - jQuery, and a few other javascript libraries are included in the wordpress core, and available if you call them with wp_enqueue_script() - you can read more about it here:

    Sometimes using those makes more sense than bringing in a new, outside library. If you're more comfortable with mootools though, go for it - whatever you're most comfortable with will end up being the easiest choice.
