Hi
I'm newbie in using css. Is mouse-over menu possible with CSS? How can I do it? Any tutorials that you can suggest?

Thanks ('',)

Hi,

Sure it is possible. Here is some example code for a simple nav bar:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Menu Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	background-color: #FFFFF0;
	font-size: 12pt;
	color: #003366;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	}

.sidemenu     { background: #9cf;
	width: 13em;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #333333;
	}

.sidemenu a { display: block;
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #fff; background: inherit;
	border-top: 2px solid #333333;
	width: 100%;
	}
.sidemenu a:hover {
	color: #000; background: #69f;
	width: 100%;
	} -->
 -->

</style>
  </head>

<body>
    <div class="sidemenu">
	<a href="#">A BUTTON</a>
	<a href="#">ANOTHER BUTTON</a>
	<a href="#">YET ANOTHER</a>
	<a href="#">A BUTTON</a>
	<a href="#">A BUTTON AGAIN</a>
	<a href="#">FINAL BUTTON</a>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps
