I really do need the fly out it is great, maybe if I could just change the colour of specific menu buttons - i am not a coder but assume i would do this by creating specific ul and li for those menu items - would that work?

Can I use both your mod and the horizontal drop down menu on one site? that could offer an alternative solution.

If you have the time site is stripeyfrog . com I have created a category Picture Perfect Cakes and would like to make that button and it's children another colour.

In my ideal world would get to some thing like the amazon concept where i could define areas of the shop and have individual menus in those areas even if they where not flyout.
