I'm just learning Dreamweaver. I want to create a pop-up menu for my website so I'm putting the navigation in my template. My problem.....

I can't access the Pop-up Menu in Behaviors (it's grayed out). When I put a button in a blank page I have no problem with the creation, but as soon as I try to create it in the template it won't work.

I sure hope someone can help !!!!

You may already be beyond help. Macromedia played a very dirty trick on you
by leaving this awful functionality in the program through 4 release cycles,
against passionate pleas from the user community. The DW menus should NEVER
be used. Ever. And certainly not with templates - as you have just
discovered. Read these words by the person who adapted that code from
Netscape's original version specifically for Macromedia -

In short, there are MUCH better ways -

Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII
( http://www.projectseven.com/)

and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place
( http://tjkdesign.com/articles/dropdown/)

Or this one (more recent article):
