    Hi everyone,

    I am a new to EE, but I was wondering is there any addons or plugins to have such dropdown menu as in this page http://www.transparency.org because we will use the same template from this site. Please provide a bit clear instruction especially on Channel or Categories that are related to have such a dynamic dropdown menu.

    Thanks
    S

    No add-on would be required I don’t think.

    That menu looks to be just HTML/CSS/JS. It all happens in the browser.  EE happens on the server.

    All you need do is use EE’s tags to spit out the HTML that the menu is expecting.

    Each item on the menu could be an entry from a channel, so the menu can just be generated using a channel:entries tag.

    There are probably a number of other ways to do it - all depending on how you’ve gone about setting up EE to handle the content it’s storing.
