Slide down menus

I want to incorporate slide menus with my site (something like on www.zuggsoft.com).

There are a few difficulties I am experiencing.
The site layout is: a big picture on top, the menu (horizontal) below it, and then XOOPS blocks.

First, I thought to find a module that will do it, but then I figured that I won't be able to put my menu where I want it to be, since it will put it at most in center block up there, and I want it to be above the center block, in fact, above all the blocks.

So I thought to solve this problem with java/dhtml slide menus. But then I figured that I have no idea how to change the content of the blocks via this menu.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

Yeah, this is exactly what I want to do.

I want to change the main block according to what I choose on main-menu.

No, I mean blocks.

Heh, another example:

I want to have a menu like this:

Guilds - Newbies - About

When you go over Guilds, the next menu slides down:

Guild 1
Guild 2
Guild 3
Guild 4

All this, while in the center block, there is some general information.
Now, I click on Guild 2.
The center block, instead of showing this general information, will show information about Guild 2.

I hope I explained myself well.

I tried, however it didn't allow me to put my menu where I wanted it to be - above all the blocks (right, left, central), below the main picture.

Yes, I do, however I didn't reconfigure apache to work with index.php yet, so you might add index.php from time to time.

It is in temporal location:

dune.servint.com/newsite/html/index.php

i see you do not have the drop down installed yet, but i think i am missing something here. tiny content and a number of other modules should work for you.

by the way, your site is looking good.
