CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[mashamit]

Good Afternoon everyone,

Sorry if this query has been answered amongst these pages, I couldnt see it.

Im very new to Zencart, but im playing around with layout at the moment.

I have a test site at www.masham-it.co.uk/zencart

customers shop is www.catherinesylvesterdesigns.co.uk

Im using the latest version of zencart 1.3.9

Im trying to mimic a customers site to make it into a zen online shop.

Im currently trying to insert this addon into the site, but every time i put the following script in to activate the menu system, I lose the footer section

<!--bof-drop down menu display-->
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_drop_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_drop_menu.php');?>
<!--eof-drop down menu display-->
<div class="clearBoth"></div>

the tpl_header.php file looks like this currently

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_header.php
 *
 * this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_header.php<br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_header = true;<br />

<?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}

    <br class="clearBoth" />
  </div>
  <!--eof-navigation display-->
  <!--eof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->
  <!--bof-header ezpage links-->

  <!--eof-header ezpage links-->
  

</div>
<?php } ?>

no matter where I place the extra script I seem to lose the footer, with the second set of menu items in.

I imagine its something simple, but any help would be appreciated
