Navigation Menu is one of the most important thing on your forum.

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a beautiful and professional Drop Down Menu. We will create this effect using jQuery. You need to edit templates;

The HTML code is very simple. You just need a list of links. If it has a sub-menu, it should have another list inside. Your HTML code should be like this below:

Step 1: The HTML code:

Administration Panel => Display => Templates => General Edit template overall_header Find this code:

Code:: <div id="pun-navlinks">
<ul class="clearfix">
<li>{GENERATED_NAV_BAR}</li>
</ul>
</div>

And replace with this:

Code:: <ul class="topnav">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Tutorials</a>

<ul class="subnav">
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">Resources</a>
<ul class="subnav">
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>

<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>

<li><a href="#">Advertise</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submit</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>

<li>
<a href="#">More</a>
<ul class="subnav">
<li><a href="#">Follow Us on Twitter</a></li>
