Hi all!
As all of us I need menu for my project. Till now I managed just fine with Directory Builder, did not like tables but it was easy to modify HTML to build nice unordered list based menus.
Thing is that I'm not managing to create more than 2 level deep menus...
I use simple table that has:
page_id
page_name
parent_page_id
just enough...
Question is, is there way to make CCS show all levels of menu at once, no mater how deep they are?
After that handling HTML/CSS/Javascrips to make it look as I wish is no problem...
Thnx,
Andrej
PS. I would need this quite urgent
PPS. I searched this forum but did not manage to find solution that would help me..

I am just a newb myself but have you looked at codechargetools.com? They have a Dynamic Menu Builder there that I believe is what you are looking for. Fast and Cheap too!

I did, but I did not notice it supports menus deeper than 2 levels, at least I did not notice it in the demo...
Also, I would prefer do do my own as it offers more flexibility.

We use Project Seven's Pop Menu Magic for all of our sites. It is extremely flexible with no limits on number of menus or levels plus complete control over styling through CSS (since it is basically just styled HTML lists). It is section 508 and WAI compatible. And it just works really well. We have pushed it to its limits and it outperforms most every other menu available. Plus their support is amazing. Only possible issue would be it is a Dreamweaver extension so you must be using Dreamweaver to use it. Here is the URL,

Now, if we were not using Project Seven, my designers tell me they would use the Son of Suckerfish dropdowns featured here,

Solid dropdown menus. Free code. Lots of examples. What's not to like! To see their code working in a cleaner implementation,

Thnx,
but it is not what I ask, all this is about styling menues. What I have trouble with is programing part.
How to create nested lists??? No styles and Javascrip, all I need is nested unordered list 3 or more levels deep? Something like this based on my table:
Level 1
Level 1.1
Level 1.2
Level 1.2.1
Level 1.2.2
Level 1.2.2.1
Level 1.2.2.2
Level 1.2.2.3
Level 1.2.3
Level 1.2.4
Level2
Level 2.1
Level 2.2
Level3
Level4
Thnx,
Andrej

We use UDM from http://www.brothercake.com/site/portfolio/menu/
Our menu system is totally controlled via data (fully dynamic menu system).
Essentially you have a table which ash the current menu item, parent menu
item, and the link.
A simple procedure which I wrote traverses the database and creates the menu
system.
It is a single function call. I based it on an example I received from Yes
Software, and modified it to use the dhtml conventinos used by UDM.
The great thing with UDM is its crossbrowser compatibility and its way of
gracefully handling when, for example, the client does not allow javascript
code.
You can see all of its capabilities in the demo. You can see our n-level
implementation on our website.
