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 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.

I don't quite get it.
by default, it looks like this:
/*div#dropMenu li.submenu {background: url(../images/dropmenu.gif) 95% 50% no-repeat;} */
what should i do?

boriz,
other than line 61
/*div#dropMenu li.submenu li.submenu {background:url(../images/submenu.gif) 95% 50% no-repeat;} */

there are no other images used in the css. make sure both lines have been commented out /*.

you can also remove the image from includes/templates/yourtemplate/images/

that will work too.

Nope. Even if I remove that (and another comented out) lines.
here is the ss:

i want to remove that triangle on the left(it's on every button in the menu and in submenus)

That is also from style.css, and has nothing to do with the coding in stylesheet_header_menu.css.

Change this also:

li a { text-decoration:none; color:#BDBDBD; padding-left:11px; background:url(../images/pimp1.gif) no-repeat 0px 5px;}

to this

.columnLeft li a { text-decoration:none; color:#BDBDBD; padding-left:11px; background:url(../images/pimp1.gif) no-repeat 0px 5px;}

Help! I just moved my site to another host and I am having a problem when I reinstalled the mod. It no longer displays the Home, Categories, Information... It only displays the sub-categories. Here is my site. http://www.garlandskinandbody.com/index.php?main_page=

Why would this be happening? Any help would be GREAT!!!

Thanks!

Oh Never mind:-) I realized I grabbed Paul's version which is meant to only show sub cat's :-)

Thanks!!!

I need a little help positioning the dropdown menu. I want to have the whole menu right aligned (not the individual text in each menu item). Can someone help me with this?
