Good day to all,

I'm think of redesigning the menu of the website
http://www.semi-conducor.nl/
The manufacturers menu are below the main menu when the visitors goes to
e.g. connectors, embedded tools, etc.

What is the best place to put those menu as a horizontal menu above the
content or as a roll-out menu when the visitor hover over e.g.
connectors, embedded tools, etc. buttons like http://www.evandervaart.nl/?

Please would you give your suggestion about the manufacturers menu.

It is not smooth sailing getting this url to show a web page in
Safari. Sometimes one gets a page, sometimes one gets server not
found. Sometimes I get a page (which looks nice enough by the
way) with a red menu on left, sometimes a page with the same url
showing with presumably, your new experiments with pop out to the
right menu.

You intend to show all the manufacturers of e.g.
in a drop-down?
I don't think that will be an improvement!

BTW, I get a 404 on http://www.semi-conductor.nl/form/contact.php Maybe you
should run Xenu (http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html)

Eek! Sorry about that. :-(

No, not in a drop-down menu.
Just in a horizontal menu like this
http://www.semi-conductor.nl/img/menu.png [128,5Kb]
Or in a roll-out menu like this
http://www.semi-conductor.nl/img/menu2.png [130,4Kb]

> BTW, I get a 404 on http://www.semi-conductor.nl/form/contact.php
From which page to the contact form did you get a 404 page, because I
don't have a contact.php page only a index.php
Doh. I get it! It's below the page, just above the footer.

> Maybe you should run Xenu (http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html)
Down loaded and try to work in Linux.
Oh, there is an option in the extension "Web developer" for
Firefox/Seamonkey/Mozilla that do the same thing as xenulink. ;-)

Not so good IMO. Maybe something like http://www.cartal.nl/ (Click
'Assortiment +')?
Very easy to make with some PHP

Works well. Might I recommend that you align the menu words to the
left, instead of centered? It would make them easier to read, as the
eye has to search for the beginning of the next line when ragged-left is
used. Put a bit of padding so they don't bump the edges of the buttons.

Centered text is ok for poetry, but not much else. ;-)

Thanks for the advice! I'll discuss it with the owner of the site.

I had used a php switch mechanism, after a while the web hosting was
necking about that some one/thing spamming from the mine website.
