cool menu vs dhtml menu

[Lara Croft]

can anyone tell me what the difference is between cool menu and dhtml menu as when i experiment between the 2 i just don't seem to be able to see the difference. or if anyone has any sites for me to look at to see the difference, that would be great.

thanks in advance

One is the coolmenu mod. One is the dhtml menu mod. They are completely different.

You can read all about each mod here:

i have selected cool menu for my site at planet-moto.co.uk/catalog

so why doesn't mine look like this one that i found in the oscommerce contributions as an example of the cool menu script.

Because you are using a custom template that creates its own categories box. If you switch your site to one of the default templates to test, you will see the coolmenu.

You will need to change your template to use the conditionals that call the cool menu. You can look at the main_page.tpl.php in the fallback template to find the coolmenu code.
