Script Wizard: Expanding navigation menu
When you click an item of the main menu, it will spread out a sub-menu below it. If you click again, it will do the opposite. When you click an item of the sub-menu, it will open the relevant URL. To create an expanding navigation menu, specify the items of the expanding navigation menu, and set the style. After all this precedure, an expanding navigation menu will be inserted into the document.
