Simple Customizations:
- Replace the # symbols with your page link/URL
- Replace the bolded black texts with Page Titles
- To create a drop down menu inside a Main Menu link simple add to it a rel attribute like rel="ddsubmenu1. Change the drop down number accordingly.
- Normal li and ul rules apply here to create sub menu and sub sub menu links.
- Main links are mentioned first and drop down menu links are mentioned separately after the JavaScript call function.
- To change the background color of the menu simply edit background: #414141
Step 5. Save your widget and you are all done!
