CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[sooraj]

Hi,
When i tried to switch off the site map in the drop down menu i found an error.
Please update this in your css flyout header- tpl_drop_menu.php

initial line-
<?php if (defined('FILENAME_SITE_MAP')) { ?><li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>

corrected line-
<?php if (DEFINE_SITE_MAP_STATUS <= 1) { ?><li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>

sitemap status was not defined in the file..

The css layout was great work..keep it up..and thanks..

If I could see a link, I could help more specifically. But, I can tell you that you need a <div class="clearBoth"></div> at the very end of includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Also, I'm assuming it is breaking into two lines because there is probably some padding or margin on your site that is causing the menu to not have enough room.

Are you using the most recent version of the drop menu?

Thanks for solving the first problem (with firefox)
Now.. menu is really breaking into two lines (shoping cart is in new line) but it's not the main issue... the real problem is that when you go to any link (let's say Categories) the table is not entirely grey, so things behind are seen.
edit:
And yes, I'm using the latest dropdown menu.

The images don't help me. Can I see your site? You can PM me if you want to keep it private.

The issue is this:

li { background:url(../images/list_back.gif) repeat-x bottom; padding-left:12px; line-height:22px; color:#BDBDBD; }

inside style.css, which says that EVERY list item, anywhere on the site, needs to have the little white dot, and 12px of left padding. The 12px of left padding is what is making the menu wrap.

So, I would change the above to:

.columnLeft li { background:url(../images/list_back.gif) repeat-x bottom; padding-left:12px; line-height:22px; color:#BDBDBD; }

so that this only occurs for things in the sideboxes, and not the whole site.

if you are working on css drop menu here is your answer. . .
in stylesheet_header_menu.css should be line 52 you'll find

div#dropMenu li.submenu {background: url(../images/dropmenu.gif) 95% 50% no-repeat;}

you need to place a /* before the line. it should look like this,

/*div#dropMenu li.submenu {background: url(../images/dropmenu.gif) 95% 50% no-repeat;}

Hope this helps.
