Hi, I'm struggling with this, and would appreciate some help

I want my site to show a tabbed menu like the one on http://drupal.org
Similar to the "Documentation | Download | Support | Forum.. "

How is it done on the drupal.org site? Is that just primary links? My theme is garland and it shows me some thing very different. How do I go about getting tabs?

I tried quicktabs module, and when I place it in my content block, it goes to the bottom of whatever content is on that page.

Thanks for any help. I really appreciate this forum

You can just create primary links and style them using the sliding doors technique, a true web design classic, published on http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors.

If you're not good with css you could also try just changing to a different theme that is already styled to have tabs like that for the primary menu items. I know the marinelli theme has menu tabs like that.

Hi hollybeary, i'm not good at css.
i tried the marinelli font, and the menu comes at the bottom of my content.

for instance if i put the menu block in the content body section, it somehow shows content and then at the bottom is my menu.
i seem to be missing something. can u help?
thanks

Hi aon!

It sounds like you're trying to configure the primary links menu in the blocks section. For primary links your shouldn't have to do that at all. You don't need to set the primary links block to show up in a region, it will show up automatically once you create your first menu item in the primary links menu. Try that and see if it helps!
