Creating sub-topics in navigation bar

I want to create "sub topics" that you can click on on the navigation bar.
I.E. I have NECKLACES as one of the items on my navigation bar. I want to be
able to then add sub-categories called "pearls", "crystal", etc. So, when
you click on NECKLACES, you see a list of these categories beneath it on the
navigation bar. If someone can just tell me what to look for in my FrontPage
manual, that would help! I don't know what this is called. I'm very new to
FrontPage 2003 but enjoy the learning part.

THANK YOU Ron for your prompt response. I'm at work now, but will research
this further when I get home! I just found the MS discussion groups this
a.m. and think this will help me in learning even more than I imagined! Have
a wonderful day...Maria

Well, had a sec to look at those links. Apparently, FP 2003 doesn't have the
feature to actually create them easily. Using Layers and Behaviors is what
I'll have to research. I have 2002 here at work, so can't really look into
creating it here (I don't see a LAYER option under INSERT).

Anyway, I'm assuming that I will have to delete my navigation link bar (???)
and use the Layers/Behaviors instead? I'm reading more on the topic now...

The menu from http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/tutorial/ is
much easier to construct, but harder to see/understand what is going
on (requires a good knowledge of CSS).
See www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/webfaqs.asp for examples of horizontal
and vertical implementations.
It may be possible to use custom navigation bars with custom styling
in FrontPage 2003 to create the entire menu - something to think
about...
