CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

Just to close this off, I have now solved my ie issue as detailed in message 24.

Couldn't find how I broke it, spent several hours trying to undo [mostly un comment] my mods to the original style sheet, but found a fix.

Added z-index:5; to the headerWrapper and appears to work correctly now.

Many thanks for your help.

Glad to hear.

SERPS [or I suppose technically SERP's] = Search Engine Results Pages

Page Rank [PR] A system developed by Stanford University and Larry Page [co founder of Google] to enable every page on the internet to be assesed for importance. The importance being judged mainly by the quality of inbound links.

jtschrade,

The menu should be dynamic, which means that the dropdown menu should be built as you add categories without you having to edit anything else.

Is it not working that way?

He's asking that ONLY the categories show at the top. He would like the categories to be on the top level, vs. HOME CATEGORIES INFORMATION CONTACT US MY ACCOUNT SHOPPING CART.

Which I think can be done, it will just take a bit of adjusting. jtschrade, i'll look into this more soon.

That is what I want. Basically, I want it to be arranged like the default setting where each category name is listed horizontally under the banner; but I want it to be a drop down where as you pass over a category the drop down shows the subcategories. Possibly combining the code from those two areas would work. But again, I'm a beginner.

Possibly can build the category dropdowns upon the Categories Tabs feature integrated into recent Zen Cart versions.

Admin > Configuration > Layout Settings > Categories-Tabs Menu > ON/OFF

However, displaying two different horizontal menu bars, one on top of the other, each with drop downs could prove problematic.

And the number of categories in a shop is dynamic, so designing the horizontal categories menu bar looks good when there is only two categories vs. ten or twenty or more top level categories and when to set the categories list to wrap, sounds like a tough job. And there are the subcategories to deal with.

Help,

I have followed along with the read me file and gone back over it but I must have missed a step. I am using 1.3.8.
Here is my link: http://www.auto-xtras.net/shop/

As you can see my drop down is actually a vertical menu can someone tell me where I went wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Renee

Looks to me as if you are missing the style sheet for the menu:

stylesheet_header_menu.css

Should probably be here for your template:
includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css
