If you're new on Dreamweaver STOP what you're doing immediately. DO NOT use those deprecated server-behavior panels. They were removed from Dreamweaver CC for a reason. The code will not work on modern servers running PHP 7+.

Code manually with modern code or buy commercial extensions to help you.

Start with a basic unordered list.

<ul>

</ul>

Add some hyperlinks. Give one item an active class (you are here). Wrap list and anchors inside the HTML5 <nav> tag:

It should look like this:

Add some CSS styles to your <head> tag like this:

Final result.

Post back if you have any questions.

What do you mean 'from another table'.

Can you elaborate on what it is you are trying to do? We know you want to create a list menu but the part about 'from another table' is confusing me.

Hi,

Firstly thanks for all the response..but there's a miss understanding with my problems. Actually my problem is ..I try to create a form off entry new record..and the form contain a dropdown menu to choose a record from another table. I told it a list menu because I took it from menu- Insert->form-> Select(List/menu). I try to put code..for the dropdown but still not working. Please help..

Thx,

Joe
