It's not possible to create a third party navigation widget that accesses the page file names the way in which the built in one does. NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb! Any opinions expressed in this forum are my own. These can have to five columns of links which should be more than enough for most situations! This s not a beginner project but it can be accomplished by anyone who understands basic HTML & CSS and is familiar with working out the relative file paths to all the directories and pages. You can see that the drop down can accommodate more or less anything and the links can be arranged in columns with a column heading. I started to create one for the EverWeb Codebox site a while back but I've never had the time to implement it. These make far more sense and are a lot easier to use. You have probably notice that the bigger sites use what is referred to a a mega menu. I detest visiting sites with three or more levels to the menu and find them very irritating. These need to be added at the top and bottom of each page to be effective. When a site has more than two levels, it's necessary to add breadcrumbs - otherwise the visitors will just get lost. This would inevitably prove too much for some. To be able to make all the adjustments, the user would have to have a basic knowledge of the various CSS selectors and what they do. The CSS gets complex and the number of controls for adjusting these would be quite large. There are a few things to consider about menus with 3 or more levels. You can see the new section menu in the header. I had to eventually divide the EverWeb Codebox site into two sections and am now adding a third one. Long before a site reaches this size the possibility of dividing it into sections should be considered. The two level drop down menu is sufficient for sites with up to about 200 pages.
