CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

Hi Jade

Removed the tables and added the z-index =0 to the stylesheet but having exactly the same problem.

I will try a re install and see if that works, strange that you do not have the same on your site!

Thanks for trying.

Regards

I'm sure its due to some other difference I didn't appreciate yet... don't think you should have to re-install...

Did we already discuss which version of zen cart you are using?

But lets check to make sure its the stylesheet.

Save a copy of your stylesheet somewhere, and in its place, upload my apple zen stylesheet, and see if the problem persists. Then we'll know for sure its something in the stylesheet.


I'm attaching a text file with my stylesheet. It would probably look REALLY crazy, but if you go to a product page you should be able to see if the menu is over or under. Here is the file:

Hi

Ok, I have now tried your stylesheet and all works correctly. I will sift through my stylesheet tomorrow and find the culprit.

Many thanks for your help.

If you just use the dropdown menu without the category side box, will that hurt your pageranking?

Or should I put this as, how will the spiders like your site if the menu is in a dropdown box instead of in a side box for everyone to see?

I think by page ranking you probably mean SERPS, as page ranking is now less significant than it was a year or so ago.

You can safely turn off the categories list, the search engine spider will be able to crawl your pages via the drop down menu.

Yep, still crazy is correct, if you look at the source of your site with the header dropdown menu, you are still getting real links like you would with a regular menu.

Just to close this off, I have now solved my ie issue as detailed in message 24.

Couldn't find how I broke it, spent several hours trying to undo [mostly un comment] my mods to the original style sheet, but found a fix.

Added z-index:5; to the headerWrapper and appears to work correctly now.

Many thanks for your help.

SERPS?

Oh man, and I thought I had it down. Now I have to go learn about SERPS.

Sounds like some sort of refugee. haha.

Thank you!!!

Ok, have the module installed and I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to editing php and css files. I want to edit this so that the drop down menu is only showing the categories in my catalog (each category name showing horizontally across the top of the website and not showing any of the other stuff listed in the default settings). I'm not sure how to to do that. Any help would be great.

SERPS [or I suppose technically SERP's] = Search Engine Results Pages

Page Rank [PR] A system developed by Stanford University and Larry Page [co founder of Google] to enable every page on the internet to be assesed for importance. The importance being judged mainly by the quality of inbound links.

HTH.
