Once the drop-down menu of your site is created, all you have to do is associate an action with each menu option. Programming the menu options can be done: - In the page editor, in the option description.
- In the code editor, by programming in WLanguage or in JavaScript.
Several WLanguage functions can also be used to handle the menu options dynamically, through programming. For more details, see Menu management functions.
