By following this tutorial you will learn how to use MX CSS Menus to generate a database-driven CSS menu in your site, using the InterAKT table structure required by the Database-driven CSS Menu component (wizard or server behavior). The tutorial regards the presentation of some software products (Dreamweaver extensions), but similar applications can be built for any other sites that need a menu: product catalog, online library, personal website etc.
For building this website you will:
Design a simple CSS layout to display the menu on the left and the page content on the right.
Generate a database-driven menu in a site page (after creating the CSS layout), and then save the page under different names to create the rest of the files.
Retrieve the complete menu items links from the database (and do not build them with URL parameters, as shown here).
The only Dreamweaver extension you need in order to follow this tutorial is:
The estimated completion time for this tutorial is about 30 minutes. It also depends on your authoring knowledge with Dreamweaver and MX CSS Menus.

Create the CSS layout and the CSS menu
