[opencms-dev] problem in creating menus

[Vikas Gupta]

Hi Christian,

   Thanks for your prompt reply. My question is not an HTML question. I am
using

out.print(cms.buildNavigationHead(cms.key("link.home"), "navtop",
"navspacer"));

to create dropdown menus. This creates menus for folder resides in
/sites/default/ folder, My question is very clear that how I can create this
for pages resides in my module.
