    I’m trying to add a submenu to the top of a PAGE and then have the contents of that page change with each menu item clicked. Kind of like putting a mini-website inside a single page.

    I’ve scoured the forums and the only info on submenus I can find relates to having submenus unfold from the parent menu.

    An example would be, say a website was for a coffee shop and the main site nav menu had the options “coffee | tea | baked goods”
    Then when you click on, say, “baked goods,” a page comes up and at the top of that page there is a sub-menu that reads “donuts | muffins | brownies”
    When you click the “donuts” option the page content displays info about the shop’s donut making policies (like maybe staff aren’t allowed to make the donuts when they aren’t wearing pants, for example). And likewise when you hit “muffins” or “brownies” – the page content changes to display each. lame example, i know, but you get the idea?

    Is this possible?

    I am not a professional programmer but have been programming html as an amateur for about 15 years. Plus one year studying computer science in college (learning C++).

    Can you help?

    That is exactly the type of page menu I’m going for – thank you.

    I see, though, that if I put an actual url in the a href tag, that website loads into the window, but the menu disappears. How do I keep the menu visible?

    Each ‘sub page’ would contain additional menu items that are appropriate for the page the user is on…

    An easier way may be to create a custom menu if your theme supports them…

    What you are ultimately asking is how to design the flow of your website, which should be given extra care and attention and all options reviewed, not just for the content that exists now, but future content also…

    Many would use parent and child pages for this and a widget or custom menu area (or both) that would list child pages and/or maybe even breadcrumbs…many possibilities…how this happens depends on the website designers’ level of skill with varying items such as html, css, php…and how much content is to be displayed…it’s not worth spending a few days working on custom page template designs when there are only to be 5 pages…just add the links by hand to each page and your done in a hour or so….etc…
