CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[DivaVocals]

I downloaded and installed the files from this link----

I just downloaded it and reinstalled everything and the problem still exists. I took out the (margin: 8em) from the logoWrapper so that you can see that the image in the header isn't displaying because the header is collapsing.

I guess I'm confused how your logo display issues would be related to this menu??? Can you clarify why you believe this is true???

Because everything lined up prior to installing the mod.

Would it make it easier for you if I uninstalled everything so you could view the site before....and then reinstall again so you can see the after again?

The problem is with the tpl_header.php. According to the instructions that came with the mod I simply inserted the <!--bof drop down menu display--> Into my existing tpl_header.php. file. When I do that, the header disappears. That is why I inserted the code from the tpl_header.php file so that one could look it over to see what the problem is.

Here is a screen shot of the dowloaded file to show that this is the correct mod thread.

Does it matter where the drop down menu code goes in the tpl_header.php file? Is there a specific order that they have to be presented? The reason I ask this is because...AFTER installing this mod the header disappeared and the only way to get it to show up is to either add a margin to the logowrapper or add padding to the top of headerWrapper. When I add the margin in the logowrapper, the header doesn't line up properly in the browsers. When I add padding to the top of the headerWrapper, the "HOME LOG IN" bar drops below the headerwrapper. I am considering not using this mod, but I really want to because it looks and functions great....it just messes up the headerWrapper. Can anyone look at this and offer a solution?

Hi,
I am looking to display my 6 categories as individual drop downs horizontally across the top, each one would then have sub categories and sub sub categories.
Is this possible with this contribution

Many thanks

Actually, it can be done very nicely with this menu. I just done one using this and it works great. Just replace your categories_ul_generator.php code with this code, and your Top Categories will be shown, then your subs will drop down.

<?php
class zen_categories_ul_generator {
    var $root_category_id = 0,
    $max_level = 6,
    $data = array(),
    $root_start_string = '',
    $root_end_string = '',
    $parent_start_string = '',
    $parent_end_string = '',

    $parent_group_start_string = '<ul%s>',
    $parent_group_end_string = '</ul>',

    $child_start_string = '<li%s>',
    $child_end_string = '</li>',

    $spacer_string = '
    ',
    $spacer_multiplier = 1;

    var $document_types_list = ' (3) ';// acceptable format example: ' (3, 4, 9, 22, 18) '

    function zen_categories_ul_generator($load_from_database = true)
    {
        global $languages_id, $db;
        $this->data = array();
        $categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id
                             from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
                             where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
                             and c.categories_status=1 " .
                             " and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' " .
                             " order by c.parent_id, c.sort_order, cd.categories_name";
        $categories = $db->Execute($categories_query);
        while (!$categories->EOF) {
          $this->data[$categories->fields['parent_id']][$categories->fields['categories_id']] = array('name' => $categories->fields['categories_name'], 'count' => 0);
            $categories->MoveNext();
        }
    }

    function buildBranch($parent_id, $level = 1, $submenu=false) {
      if ($parent_id != '0') {

      }
        if (($this->data[$parent_id])) {
            foreach($this->data[$parent_id] as $category_id => $category) {
              $category_link = $category_id;
              if (($this->data[$category_id])) {
                $result .= sprintf($this->child_start_string, ($submenu==true) ? ' class="submenu"' : '');
              } else {

              $result .= $category['name'];
              $result .= '</a>';
              if ($level == 0) {
