Glenn, I tried using the index_home stylesheet approach that you suggested. It was a simple and elegant solution which never crossed my mind (been away too long, I guess ) I had it working as far as the flyouts went, but when I started mucking with the way I wanted it to look the rest of the time, the flyouts stopped working and I haven't been able to get them working again since then. I suspect it has something to do with my active setting in the defines more so than the stylesheet changes. Since I was satisfied with the way I changed things, I dropped trying to get the flyouts working, but since I see you were getting ready to release the new code, I wanted to bring this to your attention in case it was the active levels that broke it for me. I am not at my development computer right now, so can't give you the levels I am using, but functionally I have the top levels showing always and then I have all the 1st level subcats for only the active top level and all the 2nd level subcats only for the active subcat level. I am still having problems with getting one of the top cats to look the way I want, but that is for a different post. The top cats with subcats are all looking the way I want, but the flyouts won't work anymore.

Let me know if you need more details from my defines or stylesheets to test that your new code for flyouts before you release it for the plugins.
Thanks! Karen
