For a pull-down menu in Dreamweaver the most reliable approach is to keep the HTML simple and let the stylesheet handle layout and visibility. Use a semantic structure such as a nav or an unordered list (ul/li) with nested lists for submenus. Style top-level items inline or floated, give submenu blocks position: absolute, and reveal them on :hover and :focus so both mouse and keyboard users can access the menu.

Common problems to check when a submenu doesn't appear: make sure the parent has position: relative, the submenu is not clipped by an ancestor with overflow: hidden, and z-index is high enough so the submenu sits above other content. Test with a valid DOCTYPE (quirks mode affects positioning), and verify keyboard access (tab/focus visibility) and mobile/touch behavior — for touch, provide a visible toggle or clear :focus styles so items can be opened with taps.

This complements the replies already posted in this thread (thanks to for the question and to responses by and ). For implementation details and accessibility patterns see the guidance on the :hover pseudo-class at the MDN docs (CSS :hover pseudo-class) and the WAI-ARIA menubar example for keyboard-friendly behavior (WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices — Menubar example).
