Hi!
I don't know exactly what you're looking for... The navigation that
you describe below is only one level (with no sub categories), for
that using a dropdown menu isn't all that common. Anyways dropdowns
are most commonly achieved using CSS (see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns)
to style a unordered list (just like the code Sean Cribbs gave you
would have done). However, it seems like you'd rather specify the menu
items manually (Sean's code would automatically have created the
navigation based on your site three).
If you manually want to specify the navigation I'd recommend using the
<r:navigation> tag. In general I'd suggest that you look through the
comments in the Radiant code for more in depth explanations, since the
wiki documentation isn't all that complete: http://github.com/radiant/radiant/tree/master/app/models/standard_tags.rb
Don't know exactly what you needed to know, but hope this helps. Good
luck!
cheers, Simon

I am also VERY new to Radiant and my first project has a painfully

this out and have reached extreme frustration with the wiki
documentation.
I understand and appreciate the simplicity of Sean's contribution
below:

</ul>
</r:if_children></li>
</r:children:each>
</ul>
</r:find>
My issues is figuring out how to apply it to my site. I currently
have
the main navigation in a snippet that is called from the Normal
Layout.
All but two of the main menu items required drop downs. The code I am
currently using is below:
<r:link><a href="/">HOME</a></r:link>|
<r:link><a href="/about-the-tour/">ABOUT THE TOUR</a></r:link>|
<r:link><a href="/rider-area/">RIDER AREA</a></r:link>|
<r:link><a href="/our-partners/">OUR PARTNERS</a></r:link>|
<r:link><a href="/post-news-community/">POST-NEWS
COMMUNITY</a></r:link>|
<r:link><a href="/media-room/">MEDIA ROOM</a></r:link>|
<r:link><a href="/about-us/">ABOUT US</a></r:link>
Hate to be so publicly naive, but would be extremely grateful for any
assistance.
