CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[crazysarah]

Hey Robert, don't worry, I didn't think you sounded rude. A ranter? Perhaps. A Raver? I hope so :) You're a ranter and a raver but not rude. lol

I understand why you're so passionate having spent hours myself trying to get things working on IE6. The site is a re-build, 8 year old site, we get around 50-60 visitors a month who use ie6, and although that has been slowly declining, since I benefit directly from sales then if there was an easy way to make it work for ie6 then in my opinion defo worth it.

I've decided though to heed your advice for now and I'm trucking on but I'm still going to come back and try to get this working. I have it working perfectly on another site but for some reason on this one... grrr...

and those 50-60 visitors who are accessing the site from some corporate PC where the company refuses to upgrade their browsers, will simply log in elsewhere if they REALLY want your product. Some will upgrade their browser if they really want your product.. Others will simply go away.. However, unless these 50-60 visitors a month are accounting for more than 20% of your sales, and you are talking SIGNIFICANT money (THOUSANDS vs a coupla dollars here and there) then it seems to me that you are putting in an awful lot of effort for little ROI IMHO..

I suppose that's fair enough. We'll see when I finnish if I could be assed going back and re-hashing it for IE6 but for now, I'm going to take your advice :)

On a slightly related point. I'm trying to get this thing working on the rest of the browsers, I'm having trouble getting a background applied to categories in the drop down. I want them to be odd/even striped. I've stuck together a fiddle to better explain. Also in Safari and Chrome the subcategories are horizontal.

I've mucked around with the default but nothing I would have thought would have broken it

any ideas? It's doing my head in

Oops: heres that fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/3fazn/2/

Hey everyone,

http://www.royal-fleur.com

I am struggling with this mod. I installed it and it works like a charm on zencart 1.5 but i do have a problem.

If i try to add a link on the header menu, it creates another link but it is below the home link instead of being on the same line.

I tried to add the link in template_drop_menu after all the existing links or between the "category" and "my account " link but it pushes the last link into a second row.

How can i add links to the flyout header and keep them on the same line. I tried to mess with css but no luck either.

Any help would be more than appreciated

Thank you

Once you add your extra link, then you need to adjust the width of the menu items in the css:

div#dropMenu li {
    position:relative;
    list-style:none; 
    margin:0; 
    float:left; 
    line-height:1em;
    width:16.667%;
    *width:16.649%;
    }

Hope this helps.
