adding dynamic menu inside existing static menu

adding dynamic menu inside existing static menu

I currently have a static, multi-level menu, meaning the submenu selections are hard coded. I am trying to use the existing css in a menu. But I want the submenu to be a list from a database, thus making it dynamic. I have been trying to follow the steps in the help document "Getting Started With Dynamic Dropdowns". I have mySQLi and I am using dreamweaver 2014. I ran into a couple problems.

The instructions say to place my cursor where I want the dynamic menu to display and to go to insert/form/list-menu. When I place the cursor after the <ul> tag that is just before the <li> hard coded list, I tried to do the insert/form/list-menu insert, but the options inside the "form" part are all grayed out and I also do not see the "list/menu" selection.

What am I doing wrong? The site I am working on is www.loyalneighbor.com and I am trying to make the sublist under inductees/category and inductees/year dynamic based on the data in the table for category and the data in the table for year.

Dynamic Dropdowns doesn't currently work with MySQLi. If you want help with this it is something we could help with in a premier support ticket.
