Menu
hi people,
first off, im not a specialist in website creation. i can however create a simple website very easily. but simple is not what we are after, is it? :rolleyes:
how i work is pretty simple, i download a template and suit it to my personal needs (im not selling websites or have any profit for it, its for my own professional activitities): i download a template i like and start customizing it to suit my needs.
recently i found this cool looking css with jquery, in which i got stuck trying to center the drop down menu (i dont have the time necessary to really look in to it, concentrate on it).
as far as i understand, a new jquery “ul” needs to added, but i dont have a clue where and how to do that.
does any of you have an idea?
i included the relevant code.
thanks in advance for any helpful answer
