I need help with a menu. Thank you in advance for anyone who has some ideas for me. I think we've all been there before, new designer client who does not really understand how things should be designed for the web. After "selling" thier client on this site design: http://www.experienceheritage.org/ they of course want me to re-create this in DDN.

How in the world am I going to get this navigation model to work?

Depending on what the requirements are you can always bypass standard DNN navigation for an HTML solution.

The downfall of doing so is that you no longer get the "dynamic" aspect of the DNN navigation, when you add a page you'll have to manually add it to the navigation.

Thank you - I may have to do that. Some follow-up ideas/questions:

 

Can I use images (of text) for the top-level navigation (these will be different widths in table cells), and have the DNN menu system dynamically control the sub menu (1 level)?

If so, I have 4 main areas. Should I clone the skin 4 times and use whichever skin is necessary to display the right sub-menu items for that main nav tab?

Really reaching here.

If you do the navigation in HTML you can do it however you like, images/text/css/flash. I wouldn't necessarily say you need to close the skin 4 times though, not if you're building it all out in HTML.

This could be done with the Snapsis NavMenu.  http://demo.snapsis.com

If you decided to use a custom template you would also have the advantages of using static html and still be able to tie it into dynamic page generation.
