i saw a post where a user seemed to have a simliar problem - but there was no reply. apologies if this has already been asnwered -

www.ppekit.co.uk.

I'd be really grateful for your help on this, hoping to get the site live shortly and i'd like to iron out all the blips before i present to my client.

thanks

I don't see the category select drop down menu on your site, but I do see the CSS Dropdown menu for your header- With Categories!

Anyhoo, your problem is you have this before the beginning of your menu:


<!--bof-navigation display
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back">

Change that to: <!--bof-navigation display-->

and all should be fine.

that was a bit of a red herring actually becasue i have just commented out on my tpl_header file the normal menu, the code is complete.

Sorry for posting on the wrong menu item though, thats was a bit daft of me and thanks for your reply

Ok i double checked my code and i was missing a second --> which only showed in firefox. many thanks for your assistance as this solved the problem.

Yep, that's what I mentioned above.

This module would be perfect for my front page center box...

Do you know how to add code to center box? I copied "tpl_categories_select.php" code to index_default with no luck. Any hints?

Also, is there a way to limit the drop down so that I can use one for each of my two categories (mens shoes... women's shoes)?

example is here...

Thanks,
Chuck

The site is shopwalkthisway.com. You'll notice front page drop down (in center of page) is just an image, but tab categories & everything else on site works.

Yes. It worked fine in sidebox... now I have it copied into tpl_index_default.php page, with no luck. I looked up other forum posts on using sideboxes in template with no luck.

here is code I posted in tpl_index_default...
