Define "out of the box".....

If you mean "Does FarCry have a templte ready to do this and I just
add my images?" the answer is NO.

If you mean "Can I create a template in CFMX and force the 2nd level
navigation of the currently selected top-level item to appear anywhere
on my page?" the answer is YES.

"Multi Level Navigation" is core to FarCry.  It comes with all the
routines to extract the navigation items from the database that you
would ever need (and then some).  The code I provided is an example of
using some of these routines.

How you arrange that in regards to your menuing system is up to you -
where you want it displayed, what it's colours are, how many levels on
drop-downs, if you have 2nd nav as a vertical list, if that 2nd nav
then "expands" - or just provides another panel somewhere (say some
tabs) with those items.

Make sense?
