Using MX CSS Menus offers a detailed description of all the MX CSS Menus elements (two wizards, one server behavior, a property inspector, a visual editor for CSS skins, and a component for creating new CSS skins), and of all the features that you can benefit from when using this product. In just a few words, what this Dreamweaver extension does is to generate stylish menus for your sites so to facilitate navigation for visitors/clients.
You can create various kinds of menus, given the menu types, the 4 menu layouts, and the 23 CSS skins provided.
Regarding the menu types, non database-driven menus are sometimes referred as "static" menus (because their items information is entered manually), and database-driven menus are sometimes referred as "dynamic" menus (because their items information is retrieved from a database).
Regarding the menu layouts and skins, MX CSS Menus provides 92 .css files, each of the 23 default skins being shaped for each of the 4 layouts!
Note 1: For the MX CSS Menus skins that use background images, you will find in the package the corresponding .psd files (editable with Adobe Photoshop), and the respective .png files (editable with Adobe Fireworks). The images are sliced, so you can easily modify them to best match the length of your menu item labels.
Since only image files are provided in the package, do not be surprised when for some of the skins (almost entirely created with CSS properties, such as corporate_red), you will only find a small image displaying an arrow.
Note 2: You can add two CSS menus in the same page and have them work together by default, only if you set different skins for the menus. For example, if in a site page you generate a vertical menu using the viorange skin and a horizontal menu also using the viorange skin, they will not function properly by default. If the two menus use different skins, there won't be any problems. To learn how to make two menus generated in the same page and using the same skin work together, read the afferent technote in the Knowledge Base.
