CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[ranger_lp]

I'll apologize upfront if this has been asked before but is there a way to change the case of the header words to initial cap (i.e.: HOME -> Home)?

TIA

Yup, remove this from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css:

text-transform:uppercase;

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to zencart (just finishing up my first site).
I've figured out everything I've needed to except this last item.

I have four top level categories and I would like those to be on the main CSS menu with the dropdown containing the sub directories.

I've tried to customize this menu and I've even looked at Paul's version which does what I want in a split menu version. I guess I'm still to new to PHP to "get" it.

Could someone please nudge me in the right direction here?
Do I need to generate a new categories_ul_generator.php or can I use the existing one and just change the tpl_drop_menu.php?

Any help would be appreciated as I'm starting to get a little frustrated.

By the way Jettrue really nice menu! this threads getting a little long though ;-) I read the entire thing though.

Doesn't Paul's version do exactly what you're looking for? I don't understand how what you want is different from what Paul's does.

Hi,

Yes you are correct :-)
I should have just loaded it up instead of trying to figure it out!

I'm well on my way to finishing now thanks.

Do have one question though.
One of the top categories wraps over two lines, which is fine but it means that all the other items in the menu have separator lines that only go halfway through the menu.

You would probably be better off switching from a percentage for each item, to a left and right padding for each item.

Remove:
width:16.667%;
*width:16.649%;

from #dropMenu li

and then change the padding for div#dropMenu li a to something like this:
padding: .6em 1.7em;

Hi am new to Zen, php, etc etc. Really enjoying it. Have installed Mostly Grey template changed all colors to aqua, blue & green. Installed drop down menu, "great" . Have managed to change color on non hover & background but + text cant seem to get drop downs to change color. Site is running on example.com.

Have added black border to left but would like to but black border top & bottom . Will this interfere with drop down? do I just add
border bottom 1px 00000
border top 1px 000000

Also when i placed my logo into Mostly grey the nav breadcrumb auto floated down to accommodate. Turned off breadcrumb however logo is small & distorted i cant find where to increase this spacing. Logo 980x186 px.

Finally would like to float side box with a small space from static drop down menu bar have been trying but not much success. Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
